still time for a bargain trip to France this year with BRITTANY FERRIES
BRITTANY FERRIES is giving many people the opportunity to travel to France this summer at a bargain price, so fed up with the British summer weather, perhaps France would be the option for a week away, for all the information, please visit BF UK site at www.brittany-ferries.co.uk.

"BARFLEUR" chartered to LD LINES/DFDS
Unexpected post on this blog, the BARFLEUR arriving at Calais on the 17.6.2012, the ship is on charter with the new joint-venture LD LINES/DFDS on the Dover/Calais route, she does five crossings per day and together with the NORMAN SPIRIT they are the only competition on this busy service to P & O FERRIES, after the collapse with SEAFRANCE. I have travelled on the "DEAL SEAWAYS" her ridiculous new name and was pleased to see her back at sea, she still flies the French flag and is registered at Cherbourg, I hope she will go back to BF sooner than later

Brand new "MONT ST MICHEL"
Seen here departing Ouistreham is the brand new MONT ST MICHEL, the ship was delivered to BF in December of 2012 and she is captured here in January of 2013, one of her first voyages on the Ouistreham/Portsmouth service, I remember like it was yesterday and almost ten years have now passed

easy than ever to take your pet abroad
under the previous DEFRA rules, pet owners had to wait up to seven months between monitoring the rabies vaccine and re-entry in the UK, after the introduction of new rules on the 1.1.2012 the waiting time as been reduced to 21 days only, also tick treatment for returning pets to the UK is also no longer required, for full details please visit www.defra.gov.uk. So with the Holidays coming it's never been easy to travel with your pet abroad and a lot cheaper as well. BRITTANY FERRIES is the best pet travel orientated company offering very good facilities for pets, particulary dogs. PONT-AVEN and CAP FINISTERE dog friendly cruise ferries, for prices and timetables, please visit BF official website www.brittany-ferries.co.uk

Another day of BRETAGNE's routine
BRETAGNE at Saint-Malo last Saturday the 14th of April 2012, another day on the ship's routine, photos of the BF Cruise Ferry docking, unloading and just an hour later, ready again to take on passengers and freight. BRETAGNE has been doing this service for 23 years, I trust she will remain in service for several more years, I have been sailing on this ship for 17 years on average 3/4 times a year and I have yet to hear a negative comment about the ship from their passengers both crossing to Saint-Malo or even when BF uses the ship for their Santander route. BRETAGNE will not be an easy ship to replace, me as a passenger and I am positive I speak for thousands of passengers don't want to see this amazing ship being replaced for new buildings, when the majority of them don't have the character and atmosphere of BRETAGNE, this ship was built and designed to keep their passengers happy in a cozy and pleasant and also very comfortable ambiance, with exquisite passenger facilities, probably most passengers won't realize why they feel so well on board this ship, the main reason for this is BRETAGNE is a true ship, with a layout to offer comfortable seating, excellent dining, great outdoor space for that essential sea breeze, wonderful facilities for photographers in general, very nautical bars, she is a proper ship, also once again I have to congratulate the crew and BF for the manner they care for their ships.
