Been mentioned a few times before but looks more likely to happen this time round

Bretagne made here first visit to Cork in 4 years covering the last trip from Roscoff for this year. Here's a few pics of her arriving earlier

Good read.

[I still don't understand why one of the weekly trips to Santander involves 2 nights on board; longer than usual crossing for what reason?]

What are they doing with Connemara for winter ?, was this not supposed to be year round service ? Or have I got this wrong, two year charter to build service etc.

The service is continuing year round. Available to book now. Roscoff Monday ex Cork service recommencing on Monday 4th March   

The continuation of this Spain route through the winter as well as the continuation of the expanded Roscoff service in 2019 is a big vote of confidence in direct Ireland-continent links.

But congrats to Port of Cork and to Brittany Ferries

It's do with arriving in Spain at a civilised hour rather than in the middle of the night.

Was in Brittany Ferries Cork office earlier and was told that the Cork to Santandar service will resume next April.  Online booking will open tomorrow. 
Also the Monday night sailing to Roscoff will resume in April.

And a few from last Thursday of the Oscar Wilde arriving in the morning, at the berth and departing for Rosslare that evening

Spent a few days in Roscoff last week. Here's a few pics from last Friday of Pont Aven leaving the berth to allow Amorique dock after arriving from Plymouth.

With the amount of traffic at Roscoff it would be very hard to justify the investment in another berth. For half of the year there is only one vessel using Roscoff. The BF service to Plymouth. Its usually one round trip and 2 in high season. The amount of time that the 3 vessels are in port every year is afaik less than a dozen and there is rarely pressure on turnarounds.

Few photos of Connemara departing Cork harbour for Santander today

Quick trip to Rosslare on Friday caught the Oscar Wilde departing for Roscoff and Stena Europe arriving from Fishguard
