Rosslare Europort has welcomed the announcement by Brittany Ferries of an expansion of its services on the Rosslare to Cherbourg route, increasing sailings to a daily frequency. Starting in October 2025, departures will grow from five to seven each week.
As Afloat reported earlier, a new Tuesday evening sailing at 21:00 will be part of this expanded service. Glenn Carr, Director Commercial Business Units for Iarnród Éireann, expressed satisfaction with the partnership, stating, “We are delighted to further strengthen our partnership with Brittany Ferries.”
The change responds to rising demand, particularly after Stena Line's departure from the route. Since launching Rosslare to Cherbourg services in January 2021, Brittany Ferries has swiftly adapted to market needs.
The expansion coincides with significant investments in Rosslare Europort. New check-in facilities and SmartPort technology are now in place. Additionally, construction of Terminal 7 is nearing completion.
As Afloat reported previously, plans for Rosslare Europort’s Offshore Renewable Energy Hub are also underway, with a planning application expected soon.
