Brittany Ferries has announced the name of its forthcoming hybrid ship, which will sail between Portsmouth and Caen: GUILLAUME DE NORMANDIE.
The name was confirmed at a press conference held in Caen, where Guillaume de Normandie (William the Conqueror) is buried.
She will join the Brittany Ferries fleet in May 2025, sailing alongside sister-ship SAINT-MALO.
GUILLAUME DE NORMANDIE will replace Brittany Ferries’ NORMANDIE, a loyal servant sailing since 1992.
