Spirit of Britain

Norbay operates the Dublin - Liverpool service for P&O Ferries alongside sister vessel Norbank and the European Endeavour.  Built for North Sea Ferries the vessel operated the Hull - Rotterdam route. In 2002 Norbay along with sister vessel Norbank transfered to P&O Irish Sea and took up service on the Dublin - Liverpool route operating back to back. In recent years the Norbay has provided refit cover for P&O's Larne - Cairnryan vessels, the vessel also completed berthing trials at Troon in 2011. To date it is the largest vessel ever to have visited Troon.

Spirit of Britain operates on the Dover - Calais service for P&O Ferries. Designed and purpose built for this route the vessel and her sister Spirit of France are the largest vessels to operate on the route. Both vessels were built to replace the ageing Chunnel Beaters, Pride of Dover and Pride of Calais. Spirit of Britain was the first to be delivered and entered service on 21st January 2011 being delivered some days earlier. Spirit of Britain was flagged under the UK registry and homeport of Dover however in 2019 was reflagged to Cyprus.
