LUXURY SUPERFERRY SAILS IN UNNOTICED

Dover residents were unable to see the latest addition to the SeaFrance fleet when it sailed into the fog shrouded port this morning (4 April).


It was the first crossing for fare paying passengers.

The new luxury superferry on the Dover to Calais route the SeaFrance Berlioz, which is a sister ship to the SeaFrance Rodin, has been custom-designed for the route.

SeaFrance will now be able to complete 15 daily return crossings, with the majority of sailings on either the SeaFrance Rodin or the SeaFrance Berlioz.

The new ship was built at Les Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint Nazaire, Brittany.

It has a capacity to carry 1,900 passengers and 700 cars, and offers a 70 minute Channel crossing time.
