Islander ferry gets Brittany Ferries rebrand

Saturday, 22 March 2025 08:20

The Islander conventional ferry has been rebranded in Brittany Ferries livery.

She has had a refit ahead of solely working the Guernsey route when Condor Ferries' existing contract ends on Thursday (27 March).

The new-look ferry will make her last visits to Jersey this week, before a 60-year association with the island ends and DFDS takes over.

The Islander will carry freight and passengers six days a week from Portsmouth to Guernsey.

Brittany Ferries says the new livery 'reflects the strong French branding'.

In addition, the crew will have new uniforms, there will be a new range of products in the onboard shop and a change to the food and drink served onboard.

The Condor prefix has also been dropped from the Voyager, which will run on the St Malo-Guernsey-Poole route, and once a week to from Guernsey to Jersey.

The Clipper has been deployed elsewhere in the Brittany Ferries network, but will serve as Guernsey's backup vessel.

Both will be repainted in the coming months.

Christophe Mathieu, Brittany Ferries’ CEO, commented:

“We respect the 60-year legacy of Condor and appreciate the trust placed over the years. And as we take on this new responsibility, we can reassure customers that our commitment is to enhance their travel experience, while continuing to strengthen the rich and diverse connections tying together Guernsey, France and the UK.

“This change in colours is therefore just the first step in improving the passenger experience which will focus on reliability, comfort, hospitality and value.”

The Goodwill and the Liberation are up for sale.
