Road tripping through Scotland

Experience magical Scotland, where breathtaking nature and ancient legends come together. Start your adventure with your own car in the port of Newcastle and drive to the Highlands, where winding roads, glittering lochs and imposing castles await you. Discover the mystical Loch Ness, taste traditional Scotch whisky and walk through the rugged Cairngorms. Or visit the historic capital Edinburgh and let your imagination spark. In Scotland, every landscape is a masterpiece!

Our mini cruise breaks are our most popular breaks, and it’s easy to see why. Not only do you get to spend time in a fantastic city, but you’ll also be treated to 2 nights onboard our modern, comfortable and well-equipped cruise ferries.

Our mini cruises are the perfect combination of a short city break and a cruise experience.

We are also proud to announce that we have been nominated as Europe’s Leading Ferry Operator 2025 and this amazing journey continues, first and foremost, thanks to you.

To our loyal passengers who put their trust in us, our valued partners and our hard-working colleagues: this nomination is also yours. You are the heart of DFDS and today, we’d like to say THANK YOU.

Let's continue to create beautiful memories and cross the finish line together.
