BENCHIJIGUA EXPRESS

The novel trimaran, Benchijigua Express, is the most modern multiple hull ship in the world. Since 2005 it has offered a 40-minute service between Los Cristianos and La Gomera and a 2-hour service between Los Cristianos and La Palma.

This ship sets a clear precedent for the development of maritime links in the Canaries and is an unmistakable reflection of Fred. Olsen's faith in the concept of fast ferries. Its large capacity, speed and comfort are undoubtedly ingredients appreciated by the Canarian people, who have come to view these ships almost as extensions of the islands' roadmaps.

The new trimaran reaches speeds of over 40 knots, and with its overall length of 126.7 metres and a capacity for 1,350 foot passengers and 400 cars, it is without a doubt one of the most spectacular ships in the world and backs up Fred.Olsen's commitment to offer the best, most modern maritime transport system in the Canary Isles.

Once on board, passengers can enjoy the utmost in comfort, with generous, well-lit lounges, large, reclining seats, 3 bars, shops, children's play area, T.V. and sun decks.

Passengers also have the choice of travelling in the Gold Class section, an exclusive area set apart in the upper area of the ship. Those who opt for this select atmosphere not only enjoy the advantages of embarking and disembarking first, but also receive free refreshments and other articles during their crossing.

We are very proud to be able to offer you the opportunity to travel on this innovative trimaran since May 2005.
