New Ferry Celtic Horizon to replace Norman Voyager
WEXFORD'S ' no-frills' ferry operator Celtic Link is going to add a few more frills for passengers with the purchase of a new ferry. The company has confirmed that it has purchased a new ferry, which it has named Celtic Horizon, to replace the Norman Voyager on its Rosslare to Cherbourg route. Rory McCall of Celtic Link Ferries, which is owned by the O'Flaherty brothers of Kilmore Quay and Ramsgrange-based O'Leary International Transport, said that the new ferry, which will be 'faster, bigger and better', will be launched in mid-October. Celtic Link, the low-cost operator between Ireland and France, stepped up its capacity and passenger offering when it bought the Norman Voyager in 2009, but just two years later Mr McCall said the demand is there to justify further 'significant investment'. http://www.newrossstandard.ie/news/celtic-links-new-ferry-will-launch-in-october-2855338.html
