About DFDS

DFDS is one of Europe’s leading ferry operators, linking the UK with France and the Netherlands, Ireland with France, and several ports across the Baltic. Onboard facilities vary by route, but can include cafés, restaurants, onboard shops and, on overnight crossings, private cabins.

For UK travellers, the best-known DFDS crossings are Newcastle-Amsterdam, Dover-Calais, Dover-Dunkirk and Newhaven-Dieppe. DFDS also operates the Rosslare-Dunkirk route, which is especially useful for travellers heading from Ireland directly to mainland Europe.

• Newhaven - Dieppe: a calmer route into Normandy
• Rosslare - Dunkirk: Ireland to mainland Europe, useful for drivers avoiding the UK landbridge

Mini cruises to Amsterdam

Sail from Newcastle to Amsterdam with DFDS and save 33% on the cabin price when you book via FerryGoGo. This special mini cruise deal includes return crossings, two nights onboard in an en-suite cabin and coach transfers between the ferry terminal and Amsterdam city centre.

The mini cruise works well if you want a short Amsterdam break where the journey is part of the trip. You board in Newcastle, sail overnight, spend time in Amsterdam and then sail back overnight, without needing to book flights, hotels and airport transfers separately.

Why trust our DFDS deals?

• Verified by editors: we check DFDS offers and review the booking flow where possible.
• Exclusive savings: when DFDS provides FerryGoGo-specific landing pages or discounts, we highlight them clearly.
• We’ve sailed them: our team has travelled on several DFDS routes, including Newcastle-Amsterdam and Dover-Calais.
• Independent guidance: if a promo is not the best fit, we would rather explain the catch than push a poor offer.

DFDS discounts: FAQs

How do I use a DFDS discount code?

If a code is required, paste it during the DFDS booking process. Many DFDS deals are applied automatically through official offer links, which means the saving appears in your fare summary without entering a separate code.

Does the FerryGoGo Amsterdam mini cruise offer need a code?

Usually, the FerryGoGo mini cruise saving works through the dedicated DFDS offer link. Check the final booking summary carefully to make sure the discount has been applied to the right part of the fare.

When are common DFDS sales?

Common DFDS sale periods include January, spring, autumn and Black Friday. Short-sea route offers and mini cruise promotions can also appear outside these periods, especially on selected dates.

Are DFDS mini cruise deals good value?

Often, yes, especially if you want a short Amsterdam break without booking flights, hotels and transfers separately. The mini cruise includes two nights onboard and transfers into Amsterdam, so it is worth comparing the full package cost rather than only the headline discount.

Does DFDS offer discounts on Dover-Calais or Dover-Dunkirk?

Sometimes, yes. DFDS regularly uses seasonal or route-specific offers on the short-sea routes, but the exact discount can change quickly. Check the current offers above and compare the final fare before booking.
