63 “A unique feature for Guillaume de Normandie is a dedicated space for school groups called ‘couchettes plus’ that can accommodate 76 students in an area specifically designed for them, with a private lounge,” says Yves Gouez, chief purser for Brittany Ferries. Above all, the ship has been designed with comfort in mind. “When we chose to invest in hybrid ships, one of the reasons was passenger comfort,” says Croc. “The fact that these ships are quiet and free from vibration immediately adds an extra level of comfort to the journey. Other elements of cabin comfort include larger beds, mattress toppers that provide extra softness, and higher-quality bed linen and towels.” Onboard dining also celebrates Normandy and French culinary culture. The Riva Bella brasserie offers sea views and a menu featuring locally sourced French ingredients. Meanwhile, Le Jardin, a new concept restaurant, offers a health-conscious alternative with its plant-based menu and market garden feel. For a relaxed drink or live entertainment, passengers can visit Les Planches Bar, inspired by Normandy’s iconic beachfront boardwalks and topped with a glass roof. Additional onboard experiences include the private C-Club Lounge with panoramic views and curated contemporary art, an outdoor gym, onboard shopping, and entertainment spaces including a video game room and interactive play area.
