P&O Ferries plans to introduce the largest-ever cross channel ferries on the Dover-Calais route. The company has ordered two 210m long ships, which will be the largest vessels capable of fitting into facilities in the channel ports.
Each of the two 49,000 tonne ferries will carry up to 1,500 passengers and will replace Pride of Dover and Pride of Calais in December 2010 and September 2011 respectively.
The vessels will cost £285m and will be built by Finnish shipbuilder Aker Yards.
P&O Ferries claims the two new vessels will offer "significant advances" in fuel efficiency.

I must say, PO ferry photograph looks nice with back water. I didn't have personal travel experience with PO ferries. But, last last year I got a chance to travel France along with some friends over there, it was good experience. Exactly I don't remember the service name.
Indeed, ferries are quite comfortable to travel. Naga had an on board experience of ferry travel during his trip to England in December 08
