DFDS discount offer: save up to 10% on selected ferry crossings
Book ahead and save on selected DFDS ferry routes for late summer, autumn and winter 2026. DFDS is currently offering up to 10% off selected crossings, including routes between the UK, Ireland, France, Jersey and the Netherlands.
The offer is especially useful if you are planning to travel with your own car, as ferry prices can rise quickly closer to departure. On some routes, a cabin may also be part of the journey, particularly on longer or overnight crossings such as Amsterdam – Newcastle and Rosslare – Dunkirk.

Which DFDS routes are included?
The offer applies to a selection of DFDS routes. These are useful crossings for very different types of trips: from Ireland to mainland Europe, from the Netherlands to northern England and Scotland, from France to the south of England, or from Jersey to France and the UK.
Amsterdam – Newcastle
The Amsterdam – Newcastle ferry is a good option if you are travelling from the Netherlands to northern England or Scotland. It is an overnight crossing, so you avoid a long drive through France and the Channel ports, and arrive in the north of England ready to continue your trip.

- Travel period: 17 August 2026 to 31 December 2026
- Useful for: Scotland, Northumberland, Yorkshire and northern England
- Why book early: cabins and vehicle spaces can become more expensive closer to departure
Rosslare – Dunkirk
The Rosslare – Dunkirk ferry is a practical direct route from Ireland to mainland Europe. It is especially useful if you want to avoid driving through Britain and prefer to arrive directly on the continent with your own vehicle.
DFDS is advertising selected crossings from €450 per car, for up to 4 people, one way.
- Travel period: 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026
- Useful for: Ireland to France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and beyond
- From price: €450 per car and up to 4 people, one way
Dieppe – Newhaven
The Dieppe – Newhaven ferry is one of the quieter and often more relaxed alternatives to the busy Dover routes. It is a useful crossing if you are travelling between northern France and the south of England, especially with a car or campervan.
With this DFDS offer, you can save 10% on selected vehicle crossings when you book before 3 June 2026.
- Travel period: 1 June 2026 to 31 December 2026
- Useful for: Normandy, northern France, London, Sussex and the south of England
- Best for: travellers who prefer a calmer crossing than Dover – Calais
Ferries from Jersey
DFDS is also offering 10% off selected ferry crossings from Jersey to the UK and France. This can be especially useful if you are travelling with your own car, as you can bring more luggage and keep the journey flexible once you arrive.
- Travel period: 17 July 2026 to 31 December 2026
- Useful for: Jersey to France or the UK
- Best for: car travel, longer stays and flexible luggage
Why this offer is worth checking
Ferry prices often depend on availability, travel date, vehicle size and cabin choice. That means the cheapest fares are usually found when you book earlier, especially for popular school holiday dates, weekends and overnight crossings.
This DFDS offer is mainly interesting if you already know roughly when and where you want to travel. Saving 10% may not sound huge at first, but on ferry bookings with a car, passengers and possibly a cabin, the difference can become quite noticeable.
What to expect on board DFDS ferries
On longer DFDS crossings, the journey can feel like part of the holiday rather than just transport. Depending on the route and ship, you may find restaurants, cafés, bars, duty-free shopping, children’s areas, cabins and entertainment on board.
- Food and drink: restaurants, cafés and bars on selected routes
- Shopping: onboard shops with savings compared to high street prices
- Cabins: useful on overnight crossings for a more relaxed journey
- Families: play areas and more space than travelling by plane or car alone

Ferrygogo tip
If you are travelling with a car or campervan, it is worth checking several dates around your preferred departure. A small change in travel day can sometimes make a bigger difference than the discount itself.
