Relaxing

Enjoy your sailing in the peaceful Premium Lounge surroundings as you set sail, taking in the sea views. Priority Boarding can make your crossing even smoother, making you one of the first to board and disembark. Premium Lounge is only available on selected crossings. Please check before travelling.

Family Fun

Pirates’ Island play area is a great place for children to spend time during the crossing and our onboard app, Jack’s Treasure Hunt will keep them busy around the ship as they try to find Jack’s treasure.

Stay Connected

Our free and fast on-board WiFi keeps you connected onboard. Our long-range directional WiFi provides a more reliable and enhanced browsing experience to the often slower satellite WiFi which is used by many other ferry companies.

Enjoy a bite to eat and take the kids to the soft play area or even explore outside on deck.

With DFDS your holiday starts as soon as you set sail.
