July 26, 2011

Celtic Link Ferries are proud to announce the acquisition of a new vessel for its Rosslare- Cherbourg route. Celtic Link Ferries have named their new vessel Celtic Horizon, a 27,552 tonnes ro-pax ferry which is to enter the Rosslare-Cherbourg port route in October.This audacious move further reinforces Celtic Link Ferries commitment to offering an affordable and reliable all-year service between Ireland and continental Europe.

With an increased capacity of nearly 1,000 passengers accommodated in 428 cabin berths, the vessel will offer a wider choice of bars, restaurents and childrens’ play area compared to the current route ro-pax Norman Voyager, which like her successor was built by Italian shipbuilders Visentini. The 25-knot replacement ship will have 2,285 lane metre space for 800 cars or 150 freight vehicles.

The new vessel will have more bars, more restaurants, more play areas than ever before. Cruising to France inexpensively will once again get even easier with Celtic Link Ferries.

Celtic Link Ferries will continue in their quest of breaking down prices, which will allow passengers to travel to France cheaper than ever before! Celtic Link Ferries will continue to question and disobey commonly accepted pricing ideologies and offer people the absolute best priced way of travelling between Ireland and France.
