First trip Rosslare to Bilbao with Brittany Ferries on board SANTONA.

 

Last year I have sailed for the first time from Rosslare to Bilbao. The ship was the new E-Flexer class, SANTONA, a ship introduced in March of 2023. Together with the SALAMANCA and GALICIA, the three ships constitute the so-called "Spanish Triplets". The sea-voyage was beautiful with very warm sunshine, calm seas and so many dolphins and whales spotted on the Bay of Biscay. When we arrived, the GALICIA was ready to start loading for her trip back to Portsmouth. For the record and for the first time my car battery was flat, too much music played the night before admiring the sunset at Rosslare. Unseasonable weather for the time of the year, but wonderful and we all made the most of it. Photos Vitor Francisco 18.9.2024.
