TAKE A CRUISE ALONG CHERBOURG COAST

When travelling from Poole to Cherbourg with BRITTANY FERRIES if you have some spare time stay for a day or two, the city has much to offer, do a cruise along the coast, please click image on top to find out details and cannot think of a better way to end with a meal at the Cafe de Paris, trust me I have been there

MY FAMILY ON BOARD BRITTANY FERRIES SHIPS

Travelling on my own is always great, I have time to do what I want which normally is spending time waiting for a ship or to keep an eye on navigation but there´s nothing quite like having your family there, two images of my wife and daughter on NORMANDIE in 1996 and on board PONT-AVEN in 2005

NORMANDIE EXPRESS LEAVING PORTSMOUTH

BRITTANY FERRIES "MONT STMICHEL" AT PORTSMOUTH

It was just after 8.15 am when these photos were taken of the beautiful MONT ST MICHEL leaving Portsmouth on her way to Ouistreham/Caen, the ship bathed in morning warm sunshine, 24.06.2011

THE AMAZING "BRETAGNE" LEAVING PORTSMOUTH

Captured here at sea the beautiful BRETAGNE is looking every inch a cruise ship, I just would like to see the funnel logo and the BF letters on the hull being reduced, ships looks very attractive in white, unless they are huge, BRITTANY FERRIES needs to promote even more the idea of Cruise Ferries and a big step forward for that is to make them look like cruise ships, photo taken on the 23rd June from the LD LINES "NORMAN SPIRIT"
