Pah, storm in a teacup.

This beautiful ship is built in the Netherlands, ship yard van der Giessen de Noord, Rotterdam, I was one of the Electrical Engineers Mr Roy RakRam

This looks awesome, literally the only reason I would get on a ferry/cruise ship 👍🏼

Good video /👍

That's a big ship how much does she weigh??????????

Some one how much does that ship 2:28 ?????? weigh

No I will never go on 🚢 I get cc in the bath

Went yesterday was a bit tough but there n back safely

Are these Ferries flat bottomed like the Dover Calais one's

How much was the crossing then on the around trip ferry then

Such a valuable historic record. I sailed from Portsmouth to le Harve I think in summer 1989 or 1990 on her sister, Pride of Le Harve (ex Viking Valiant), which had just had a lovely refit, probably coinciding with her renaming. I recall that narrow staircase to the upper seating area, which had rather snazzy lights on each step during night crossings. Sad that they have all gone. Thank you for your work, looking forward to more historic interiors!

I've sailed on bretagne several times, its such a lovely ship

Nice ship … bar area and duty free shop all had a make over

Thank you for this great piece of historic record. Just like your video for the last sailing of the late, great, Pride of Dover - which is now a valuable memento of one of the greats of the Dover strait. Amazing to see just how well looked after this vessel was in comparison to the similarly aged Prides at the end of their P&O careers. BF do a great job. Your work is truly valuable and appreciated, thank you.

Certainly a busy ferryport in Ostend. I didn’t know about this…

Lovely video, Thanks for sharing 😊 I want to take this ferry sometime in the future, as part of a roundtrip. First direct flight from Bergen (my home) to Amsterdam, train/bus to the ferry terminal, overnight ferry to Hull, train to Manchester and a direct flight back home.

this route is ending? If so, why?

I got caught in a monsoon storm off the coast of Thailand. Nothing like this vid but it was a tiny boat. I have never seem do much puke in my life. It was sloshing from port to starboard and then they locked the door to the deck.

Never knew this route existed and I live in N Ireland! Also, my daughter has recently become a wheelchair user and you including footage of what is available, is fantastic.

Many thanks for this. I last sailed aboard her as the new Prins Filip in 1993 or 94 on the Ostend Dover Line. She was magnificent then, and seemed the largest ferry in Dover next to the Pride of Dover. She looks amazing after all these years, but has been significantly refitted. There was a lot of glass, marble and brass in her original interiores.

Christ it’s like a scene from titanic with the band playing,glad you all got in safe

I was on the final Cook Strait sailing of Arahura (scrapped) Everyone was welcomes onboard with a haka, and there were bands playing, and everything to thank the ship for service from 1983 to 2015.

I was on the very last sailing back to Saint Malo. It was very emotional and I shed a few tears. I sailed on her maiden season to Santander as a 10 year old boy and have sailed on her more times than I can remember. I will dearly miss this ship and Normandie who's departing in the spring. Two incredibly iconic Gourvennec era ships leaving in such a short period is really rather tough on the soul!

R.I.P to one of the best Brittany Ferries. Will she be scrapped? She still looks like she could operate for many years to come.

This ship is unrecognisable now! Good video and the ship looks more luxury than it was. I am a Lift/Elevator enthusiast and I have filmed the lift on here in the past when this ship was an ex Bluebridge ferry in New Zealand. Looks like it has had a button upgrade and repainted doors! Nice to see that this ship is looking nice in its new home

Hi Michael Thanks very much for doing this trip and up loading a great video. Bretange a fine ship. I used to crew irish Continental line back in tge 80s . St Patrick and St Killian ferries between Rosslare and Cherbourg and Ross Le Harve. A sad day for her crew. Fair winds sailing for her and her crew.

Thank you for sharing, beautiful day we lived between St Malo and Portsmouth. I miss the "Bretagne", we all miss them. Fortunately, we have videos as a souvenir.

Went on the Bretagne when I was a kid loads of times when she was the flagship of the company , was so modern back then , old and tired now , still has more character and atmosphere than any of the generic E-Flexers . They had a club (The Matalots ) and they let kids up onto the bridge to meet the crew , most people wouldn’t even know that , times have changed and the good times are long gone …., great memories on this ship and the Normandie which will also be sold soon , shame but it’s all a cash cow now with bigger ships needed to make more and more cash …. The personal touches and overall experience is no way close to the old Brittany Ferries 😢

Me too! I will never ever knowingly furnish P&O with my money

The former Olau Britannia 1 which sailed bewteen Vlissingen and Sheerness in the 80s.

Remember being on a super fast crossing to France and the kitchen being closed, crockery smashing, queues outside the toilets with puking kids and parents. I was so knackered from the drive that I just slept under a blanket! 😂

the bar closes at 11pm

Very lovely video

has anyone been raped on this ship?

Love the Vlog Myke, a very emotional voyage on a beautiful vessel. 👍👍👍

like us trucker who have been on bretagne loads of times she was a good ship but them cabins dow on 2 deck used to be called down in the belly of the beast as it can be noisywith ship engines

Fantastic tribute to a fantastic ferry

A suitably respectful tribute to a fine vessel. I only travelled on her one in 1990 to Santander. I remember going out on deck around 6am to a perfect sunrise in Biscay, just me and a couple of crew hosing the decks of this (then) fabulous new ship. Great memories. Thank you for sharing this film.

Lovely film / Sad but Happy - Happy but Sad. 😢😢😢 Her horn is so mournful. I could not have stayed in a cabin below the waterline though - you’re far braver than me 🫣🤣

I remember her when she was new. She was seriously impressive and set a new standard on the Western Channel routes. She maintained that high standard to the end. I'll miss her. Before that the best on offer were the likes of the Duc de Normandie and the Super Vikings.

Those below the car deck cabins are scary !

I was in Le Havre yesterday for work and was surprised to see the Bretagne docked there. When I left, I saw it heading inland. Little did I know, it was for the last time! 😮 I’ve seen this ship many times. It’s crazy that I spotted it in Le Havre by accident after its final voyage!

Wonderful vid

My heart breaks to see this beautiful ferry retired. I have travelled so many times on her, whilst working in France and she ALWAYS got me home safe and soundly slept. Dining was always fantastic in the restaurants on board. And the majority of the cabins comfortable. I sincerely hope that she may get used as a relief ship, or maybe for Guernsey/Jersey perhaps. I just don't want her sailing to Alang or similar. Farewell BRETAGNE, a fine old lady of the seas....

I remember well the excitement I felt when being on its maiden sailing from Roscoff to Plymouth. It was an amazing experience for the period, but the highlight was that when we arrived in Millbay, they couldn't open the bow doors due apparently to sticking fresh paint! It took them ages, bashing away with something very heavy! This being reasonably close to the Townsend Thoresen disaster, I'm pretty sure this is better than having your bow doors unzipped! 😊

Хуйня. Ссаные англичане

It's very sad watching those last shots as she sails away past Round Tower. The 80's parts of her interior now look really cool and retro, she's been around so long. Great video too, I enjoy the unscripted vlog style.

How sad, looks like a lovely ferry!

I sadly never went on the Bretangne ferry ⛴️ This however is very interesting
