CAP FINISTERE LATEST ADDITION TO THE BRITTANY FERRIES FLEET

Built in Germany in 2001 for SUPERFAST FERRIES in Greece, the ship changed hands in 2010 to become the latest cruise ferry operating for BRITTANY FERRIES, for me the best European ferry company, she has a lenght of 203 meters, 32.728 GRT and can carry 1600 passengers and 712 cars, she is also fast the ship can get to over 30 knots, I myself have travelled at 28 knots from Santander to Portsmouth, she is employed to do Portsmouth to Santander and Cherbourg and since the 27th of March this year also to operate on the Portsmouth to Bilbao route left vacant last September by P & O with the PRIDE OF BILBAO, the interiors of the ship are very cosy and also appropriate for travelling in warmer climates, the outside decks are a must for hot weather, however very different to all other ships with BF, I understand the company is adapting the vessel to the new market and a lot of changes occurred during the February/March refit, will keep this blog updated asap, included on this post photos by this author on the 27th of November 2010 leaving Santander and docking at the same port on the 2.2.2011. CAP FINISTERE is a beautiful, sleek, seaworthy and fast cruise ferry, text and photos mine, please click at pictures to enlarge
