UK Ferry Routes to Europe with DFDS

DFDS are one of northern Europe’s biggest ferry operators and we run 8 passenger routes including 4 between the UK and the Continent.

From the UK you have several options for travelling to Europe by ferry. You can cross the Channel on our Dover to Dunkirk or Dover to Calais routes, as well as our Newhaven to Dieppe route. Our Newcastle to Amsterdam route provides an ideal link from the north of the UK to the Continent.

We have crossings linking Germany and Sweden with Lithuania and Estonia, providing convenient access to Scandinavia and the Baltics.

In addition to our mainland Europe routes, we also offer ferry crossings to Jersey from multiple ports.
