The 'Normandie' will be renamed “Massilia” when Brittany Ferries effectively hands it over to La Meridionale in April 2025, when the ferry “Guillaume de Normandie” will join the Portsmouth-Caen line. A few days ago the ship passed through Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on its delivery trip and is on its way to Astander, where it will arrive on Feb 18 and receive the last details before its next incorporation. From June, the “Massilia” will replace the ferry “Pelagos” on the Marseille-Tangier line. This ship has been sold to the Egyptian company UME.
