On board
What does DFDS run?
DFDS runs 72 of the Ferries routes we sell, calling at 13 places across 3 countries. Those routes come from the published operator catalogue rather than from a list we wrote, so a route only appears here if the carrier actually serves it.
How much do DFDS tickets cost?
The cheapest DFDS fare we sell is €11.88 for one passenger, across 72 routes. The median route runs 331 km in a straight line. Fares include taxes, supplier fees and our service fee, so the figure here is the figure at checkout.
Are DFDS tickets refundable?
DFDS fares can be changed for €5.00 and cannot be refunded, across all 72 routes we sell. The condition is shown again on the offer and once more before you pay, because it is the thing travellers most often get wrong.
What is on board an DFDS service?
DFDS publishes Bar, , Cabins, Cafe, Restaurant, Toilets across its fleet, on the 72 routes we sell. A median journey with this carrier runs about 10h 2m, which is long enough for the difference between a carrier with power sockets and one without to matter.
What is the longest route DFDS runs?
The longest DFDS route we sell runs from South Shields to Velsen-Zuid, 489 km in a straight line. A median journey with this carrier takes about 10h 2m at their typical cruising speed, so the long routes are considerably more than that.
Where does DFDS operate?
DFDS is based in United Kingdom and runs routes we sell in 3 countries. The places it calls at most often are IJmuiden, Velsen-Zuid, South Shields. Those are computed from the routes in the catalogue rather than from anything the carrier tells us about its own network.
Where these numbers come from
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
