Onboard Experience

Duty Free Shopping at Sea

Wave goodbye to mainland prices and browse big brands in our onboard shop. With regular offers on cosmetics, perfume, confectionery and alcohol, you’ll find a great deal on your crossing to Dunkirk. Our shop will be open for 30 minutes per crossing & numbers of passengers entering will be limited.

Restaurants

Enjoy an inclusive meal onboard. With fish & chips and vegetarian options always on the menu as well as cooked breakfasts and light bites, there is something for everyone. Please note, 7 Seas Restaurant is always open and Lighthouse Café will be open during busier crossings.

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

Our Pirates’ Island play area is temporarily closed due to Covid-19 safety measures. However, our onboard app, Jack’s Treasure Hunt will keep the little ones occupied as they follow our mascot around the ship to find his treasure.

Safety Measures

With a range of safety measures onboard you can sail safely with DFDS.

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.

Ferries to France

With DFDS, it’s easy to sail from Dover to France. Our routes include crossings from Dover to Calais and Dunkirk, as well as Newhaven to Dieppe, all with comfortable onboard facilities so you can really relax and enjoy the journey.

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.

Only vehicle travel is permitted on our Dover - France routes. Foot passengers are not permitted.
