Sea France Rodin - Further Ferry Information and Vessel Description

The Rodin was brought into service in 2002 with passenger areas feature eye-catching contemporary décor, with comfortable seating areas and stunning views from the large windows. Foot passengers enter into a two-deck-high gallery extending along the starboard side. This leads to a 400-seat bar lounge on Deck 5 called Bar Le Pub, with a central U-shaped bar. On Deck 7 is Le Parisien bar with 350 seats on two levels on the perimeter, surrounding a dance floor. Above this on Deck 8 is La Brasserie, with 350 seats. This features a semi-circular bar and dining area. Aft of La Brasserie, and accessed by a semi-private stair from Deck 7, is a separate 158-seat lounge/restaurant for truck and coach drivers.

The big lateral glass walls not only provide natural light to the passenger areas and the walkways but also provide panoramic views during the crossing. "The layout and decor of the passenger areas create a refinement and provide a warm atmosphere ideal for relaxation and conviviality," says SeaFrance.
