Irish holidaymakers will have an upgraded way of travelling to Spain this summer after Brittany Ferries officially launched its 214.5m-long “cruise-ferry” Salamanca at Rosslare Europort.
For those who prefer to avoid travelling by flight, or who want to bring their car, bike, or pets with them, the new ship will take more than 1,000 passengers - accepting customers on foot and on bikes for the first time on the route.
The upgraded ship will take over the direct route from Rosslare to Bilbao in Spain and will sail the route twice weekly departing Wednesday and Friday mornings.
