New ships for P&O Ferries
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.â€
