Brittany Ferries is the trading name of the French shipping company, BAI Bretagne Angleterre Irlande S.A. founded in 1973 by Alexis Gourvennec, that operates a fleet of ferries and cruiseferries between France, England, Ireland, and Spain.
In late 2016, Brittany Ferries signed a letter of intent with Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft for a new cruise ferry between Portsmouth-Caen to be delivered in 2019. The new vessel, Honfleur , would result in a fleet movement with Normandie assigned to the Portsmouth-Le Havre service from late 2019.

MV Mont St Michel is a ferry operated by Brittany Ferries. The vessel was built at Van der Giessen de Noord shipyard in the Netherlands and has been sailing for Brittany Ferries since 2002. Mont St Michel was to be named Deauville or Honfleur but this was thought to be too similar to Barfleur .
Brittany Ferries bought the vessel on 1 October 1985 and, after chartering the vessel for a year back to SMZ, renamed her Duc de Normandie, operating between Portsmouth and Ouistreham from 5 June 1986. [2] The ferry sailed alongside Reine Mathilde on its favoured route to Ouistreham.
Up to three sailings of Brittany Ferries depart Ouistreham per day. It is the Port of Caen's English Channel ferry port.. In the summer season, the MV Normandie and MV Mont St Michel operate the back-to-back, six-hour ferry crossing.
In 1988, she was sold to Brittany Ferries and was sent to Jos. L. Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany. She was renamed the Duchesse Anne and was put on the Saint-Malo - Portsmouth route. She was later introduced on the Saint-Malo - Cork, Roscoff - Cork and Plymouth - Roscoff routes.
