If you are planning to travel to Spain either on business or holidays and take your vehicle, or simply doing a mini-cruise, there is more options and choice than ever with BRITTANY FERRIES. The Cruise Ferries PONT-AVEN and CAP FINISTERE sail on weekly basis from Portsmouth and Plymouth to Santander and Bilbao, this last destination introduced on the 27th of March 2011 with the CAP FINISTERE, the sunday departures offer an extra stop at ROSCOFF on monday morning for changing of the crew which is a bonus if you planning a mini cruise, two nights onboard going southbound, both vessels offer the highest standards of comfort and an excellent cuisine, best I have seen on any ferry operator, of course for all information please visit the BRITTANY FERRIES website.

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
