Euroferries has announced the launch of a new express cross-channel service between Ramsgate and Boulogne, which will become fully operational in February 2013.
In response to growing demand for a fast and efficient crossing between the ports, Euroferries has secured a long-term charter agreement for a newly built trimaran manufactured by Austal, which will provide four daily crossings.
As a vessel capable of speeds in excess of 40 knots, the new trimaran service will offer one of the fastest available channel crossings and cater for passengers, cars and luxury coaches. Passenger comfort will be improved by the high-tech vessel’s ability to maintain higher speeds in increased wave height with reduced wake.
Euroferries is also enhancing the passenger experience by providing onboard amenities, such as an ‘in-seat’ shopping service, wi-fi internet access, extensive onboard catering and shopping facilities.
The line is also introducing an express coach service to operate between Ramsgate, Canterbury and London Victoria and ensuring easy motorway access to and from both ports.
