Last updated 9th Mar 2022
Brittany Ferries is set to bring back every ship service and re-open all of its routes this summer.
The company has confirmed the return of favourite ships like Bretagne, the re-start of services from Poole and Plymouth, and an increase in the number of ships sailing between Ireland and France.
CEO Christophe Mathieu said:
"We are delighted to confirm our ships and schedules for the summer season, which will bring renewed optimism and reassurance to staff, customers and port partners.
"The return of favourites like Bretagne at the end of March, coincide with the arrival of our first LNG-powered vessel Salamanca.
"She is a symbol of our commitment to our customers, our routes and to a more sustainable future. Three sister ships will join her in the years ahead, as fleet renewal gains pace."
Ships return to Portsmouth and Poole
After almost two years away during the Covid crisis, Barfleur will return to her home route between Poole and Cherbourg from April 4th.
She's spent a period serving freight between Portsmouth and Caen during that time.
Meanwhile Brittany Ferries' first LNG powered vessel, the Hola Salamanca, will set off on her first passenger journey between Portsmouth and Bilbao on March 27th.
As well as connecting the UK with Spain, she will run a weekly rotation between Portsmouth and Cherbourg.
And the Bretagne will return to service on March 26th for the first time in nearly 18 months, between Portsmouth and St Malo.
