We took a ferry called “Mont St. Michel” across the English Channel to Caen France.  The ferry was named after the Normandy town of Mont St Michel. The ferry is quite large and can hold up to 2,200 passengers and has vehicle storage of over 2km long.

We were taking the overnight ferry from Portsmouth to Caen.

This was our first overnight ferry and didn’t know what to expect. We boarded the ferry around 8 pm and was surprised at the quality of the ship. We walked throughout the ship exploring the different areas. It was more like a cruise ship in some aspects with a games room for children, shops and a disco bar for the adults. There were even two cinema theaters on the ferry.

We went to the upper decks of the ship and explored the outside areas. We found an outside patio that provided a great view from the upper deck.

We went to the highest deck and admired the view.

We watched the vehicles loading onto the ferry. It was astounding how many vehicles boarded the ferry.

After exploring the ferry we headed back to our cabin. We were surprised at the cabin and how comfortable the room was.
