Rosslare-Dunkirk

Hop onboard DFDS’s brand new ferry route from Rosslare to Dunkirk and enjoy a relaxing sailing with plenty of opportunity to unwind and enjoy our excellent onboard facilities. There’s a choice of cabins to suit every budget and travel need, including pet-friendly cabins and sea view cabins.

With the choice to travel with your car, bike, motorbike, motorhome or other vehicle, there couldn’t be a more convenient way to start your trip to France! Plus, there are no baggage restrictions, and meals are included in your fare, meaning you don’t need to worry about feeding the family onboard.

On your Rosslare–Dunkirk crossing, four meals at our self-service restaurant are included in your fare. Whether you're after a hearty meal or a lighter bite, there's something for you. Soft drinks, tea, and coffee are also included.

Kick off your voyage with a three-course dinner to settle in and enjoy your first evening at sea. For breakfast, our generous buffet awaits featuring plenty of fully cooked options alongside lighter continental ones as well. At lunchtime, the buffet returns with a similarly hearty spread, now joined by a carvery station for something a little more substantial. Round off your crossing with a relaxed final dinner of comforting classics, such as gnocchi, pasta, pizza, or lasagna.

If you have any dietary requirements, simply let us know when you book, and our chefs will be happy to accommodate you. We regularly cater for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets.

Enjoy a range of choice when it comes to your onboard cabin: choose between a standard cabin, sea view cabin or pet friendly cabin. Our two vessels which travel between Rosslare and Dunkirk are equipped with everything you need for a comfortable crossing where you can relax and enjoy the ride.

There is also a bar onboard where you can have a drink whilst looking out at the sea, as well as a shop where you can purchase refreshments, sweet treats and more.
