Now France is Just 3 Hours Away, but for a Limited Period Only!

For just one week, from 21st – 25th February, Brittany Ferries is scheduling its high-speed catamaran, Normandie Express, to operate between Plymouth and Roscoff with a crossing time of just 3 hours.

This high-tech vessel normally whisks passengers across the channel from Portsmouth, but the company has decided to trial it out of Plymouth whilst the Pont l'Abbé is undergoing its winter refit, giving locals the opportunity to enjoy a flying visit to France.

With room for 850 passengers, Normandie Express is the largest high-speed ferry on the channel and is propelled by hydrojets to reach a cruising speed of almost 50 mph.

The timings are perfect for a quick trip to Roscoff and you can enjoy a day return as a foot passenger for only £20 return. Book online at www.brittanyferries.com/offers or call 0871 244 1400
