Filming with DFDS

We work with news crews, television production companies and students to facilitate filming on our routes.

We do not charge a fee for news and documentaries when the story is about the ferry industry or our services and provided your production crew is fewer than five people. A fee will apply for all other filming, including commercial productions, educational films and student films.

We will not permit filming on board our ships for the following:

• Corporate productions and advertising
• Charity films (unless in support of national seafarers charities, the RNLI, the Royal British Legion or regional charities in the areas from which we operate)
• Reality / talent shows
• Under no circumstances will we allow you to interview or film our ferry Captains on the bridge of the ship during the crossing
• Requests to film on the Newhaven-Dieppe service

Please complete and submit an application form to our Group Communications department at grcom@dfds.com at least ten working days in advance of your proposed date of travel.
