History
The Norman Voyager is one of fourteen similar vessels built by Cantiere Navale Visentini. The vessel was delivered in October 2008 to Epic Shipping Ltd.[2]
The ship was initially chartered to LD Lines to inaugurate a Le Havre - Rosslare route in competition with Celtic Link Ferries service from Cherbourg.
In 2009 Celtic Link Ferries announced[3] they were chartering the vessel to replace the Diplomat on their Rosslare - Cherbourg route.
