Norman Arrow

Post by Our Gee »

Anyone know what has happened to LD Lines Norman Arrow. We travelled on this super piece if kit in June 2010 from Portsmouth to Le Havre. About three hours crossing time if I remember rightly. Just in the process of planning next years trip and although we haven't used the is route for some time it would be nice to go that way again for our trip down to The Ger region.
Thanks.

"In 2013, part of LD Lines merged with the English Channel operations of DFDS Seaways to form DFDS Seaways France.
The Portsmouth-Le Havre service was transferred to DFDS Seaways France in 2013 and is now fully marketed as a DFDS Seaways route.
This route is due to close by the end of 2014 due to the route failing to make a profit."

Looks like Brittany Ferries are offering a crossing between Portsmouth & Le Havre in 2016, http://www.brittany-ferries.co.uk/ferry ... h-le-havre
