SCHOOL & YOUTH FERRY TRIPS
If you’re planning a trip to Europe with a school or youth group, then we can assist you in arranging a fun and comfortable crossing to Europe, both on foot or with a coach.
If you’re travelling from the south of England, then choose our routes from Dover to Dunkirk and Calais. However, if you’re travelling from northern England or Scotland, our daily, overnight sailing on a ferry to Holland may be more convenient or you.
Call us on 0871 522 9933 or send an email to uk.groups@dfds.com for more information.

Gateway to Europe
Once you’ve arrived in any of our European ports, you’ll find easy and convenient access to main cities and popular destinations across the continent thanks to Europe’s excellent motorway network.
Explore sites of historic events and battlefields, visit the homes of famous artists, writers and historical figures, experience some of the world’s best museums or discover the settings of classic literature with your group. With easy access to France, Holland, Germany and Belgium, you’re sure to find something suitable for your group.
