Armorique Steps In on the Portsmouth–Caen Route
Armorique, operated by Brittany Ferries, is currently providing cover on the Portsmouth–Caen service, temporarily replacing the absent Mont St. Michel. The substitution was noted in Portsmouth on 5 January 2026, ensuring continuity of service on this key cross-Channel route.
Maintaining Service Reliability
Brittany Ferries regularly deploys vessels within its fleet to maintain operational reliability when scheduled ships are unavailable due to maintenance or operational requirements. The deployment of Armorique highlights the operator’s flexibility in managing fleet resources while minimizing disruption for passengers and freight customers.

The Portsmouth–Caen Route
