MV Pride of Calais

The MV "Pride of Calais" is a cross-channel ferry operated by P&O Ferries.

She was built for Townsend Thoresen in 1987, and launched on the 11th of April of that same year, as the sister ship to the MV "Pride of Dover" [ [http://doverferryphotos.co.uk/pastandpresent/calais.htm Dover Ferry Photos - Pride of Calais] ] . She can carry 650 cars and 2290 passengers. she has always served on the Dover-Calais route, but during French labour disputes she has sailed to Zeebrugge.

"Pride of Calais" will leave service in either 2010 or 2011 to be replaced by one of two new ferries ordered by P&O Ferries, both of which will have a bigger capacity and almost double the amount of tonnage, at 49,000 tonnes, making them the largest ferries to ever cross the channel.
