In February 2004, the 41,000 gt Pont Aven was completed. The ship is 185<br />

metres long, 30.9 metres wide and offers space for 2,400 passengers on its<br />

11 decks as well as 3,500 lane metres for 650 cars.<br />

The ship reaches a very high speed of 27 knots while being extremely seaworthy<br />

at the same time. The positive effect of this is noticeable for the passengers and<br />

the crew when crossing the Bay of Biscaya in particular.<br />

The pool on board offers relaxation for the passengers. Numerous other facilities<br />

such as the casino, the cinema, bars and restaurants offer pleasant ways of<br />

spending time.<br />

The bow ramp and the car deck of the Pont-Aven are the defining features of<br />

a functional car ferry. The ship offers the highest level of safety and reliability.<br />

At the same time, the ship offers countless amenities for passengers. Without<br />

exaggeration you can think of this as a “cruise ferry”.<br />
