Here's some of the relevant press release re the above from DFDS:
"
Award-winning ferry operator, DFDS Seaways, has welcomed the newly renamed "Calais Seaways" to its Dover-Calais fleet. Formerly known as the Norman Spirit, the Calais Seaways has undergone an extensive refurbishment programme, bringing it in line with the DFDS branding.
The cross-Channel vessel sailed from the port of Calais under its new name and livery for the first time on Sunday 17th March. In addition to her sparkling new exterior, the Calais Seaways has also had significant changes to her onboard facilities, many of which have been upgraded or renewed.
Internal renovations include a new forward lounge, which now comprises a brand new café area called the Opal Bar, as well as new carpets, flooring and toilet facilities. The onboard shop has also been renovated.
Facilities for freight drivers have also been improved, with the completely refurbished Road Kings restaurant, as well as a new relaxation area, showers and toilets for the exclusive use of commercial drivers.
