Onboard our Newhaven-Dieppe ferries

With so much to do onboard, your journey will fly by - especially now that our facilities have been recently refurbished! Head to our revamped onboard Duty Free shop and pick up some goodies from our selection of local products and top name brands. If you’re bringing little ones, there’s our newly updated soft play area to keep them entertained.

Our onboard self-service restaurant, Maupassant, serves filling hot breakfasts, tasty lunches or evening meals. With vegetarian options, too, we ensure everyone is catered for on our ferries. Why not try Beachy Head bar for a sandwich or sweet treat paired with stunning sea views, and perhaps a tipple to wash it all down?

There’s a quiet lounge area with comfortable reclining chairs if you’d like to get some rest. However, for a little more privacy, book an en suite cabin for a small supplement and make sure you’re completely refreshed when you reach France. Our cabins have also received a makeover, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction.
