MV Armorique's maiden voyage was due to be on 10 February 2009 at 15.00hrs, sailing from Roscoff to Plymouth. However, due to severe weather conditions, this crossing was cancelled, and she sailed to Plymouth without passengers. The overnight crossing from Plymouth on 10 February went ahead, making this her maiden voyage. Armorique sails under the French flag and is registered in Morlaix.
The vessel is being built specifically for the Plymouth - Roscoff route, however, as with past Roscoff based ships, she may be used on other routes to cover the refits of her fleet mates. The vessel has double deck vehicle access at the bow and stern to decks 3 and 5 though while on her usual route loading of deck 5 is via an internal ramp due to lack of double deck facilities at Plymouth or Roscoff.
