 Brittany Ferries' Duc de Normandie leaving Portsmouth for Caen. She was replaced in 2002 by a new vessel.  Photo by Stéphanie Dinez

An unusual vessel, she has a strange internal layout as she was originally a two class ship, she is one of the smaller ferries on the Western Channel but my one crossing on her was very pleasant.  A sad sight, the Duc de Normandie was moving away from the linkspan at Ouistreham at the end of our holiday.
