New ships for P&O Ferries

Monday, 13 September 20103 min read

P&O Ferries is looking forward to the launch of Spirit of Britain, by far the largest ferry ever designed for the Dover – Calais route.

The ferry is nearing completion prior to starting service in mid January.

The ferry operator is building a pair of these new ships, the second being Spirit of France which enters service next September.

“This reflects a certain degree of confidence for the long term as the pair of ships are costing the company a cool €360 million,” said a spokesman.

“Agents can check out how the new ships are shaping up at a dedicated website www.POferries.com/newships.”
