Brittany Ferries has just launched a new cruise-ferry from Rosslare to Spain.
The Ferry named 'Salamanca' offers increased passenger capacity, space, and luxury on the sea voyages from Rosslare to Bilbao.
It is the only ferry service connecting Ireland to the Spanish destination.
The new state-of-the-art ship promises lower emissions and a smoother, quieter voyage for travellers.
It also offers a destination-themed travel experience and boasts 200 custom artworks on board along with local Spanish cuisine.
People interested in making the journey can travel by bike or on foot, as Brittany Ferries are offering spaces for foot and bike passengers on the route.

At the official launch event, Frederic Dumoulin, Chief Commercial Office for Brittany Ferries says it's a sustainable travel option for those planning a trip to the sun.
“Until now it has been very difficult to accommodate bike and foot passengers on this route. Now we have the right ship, on the right route, so I am delighted to announce a change.
"From today Brittany Ferries confirms to Irish travellers that they may travel to Spain by car, by bike, or on foot.
"A sustainable tourism option, that’s perfectly aligned with our cleaner greener ship.
"Cyclists and foot passengers will boost the number of passengers travelling to Spain and vice versa. Our aim is to add 50,000 in total this year. That’s a big challenge, but we are up for it.”
