No code needed: pick the day-trip or short-break fare in the booking and the price applies. DFDS shows no end date for these fares and says they can already be booked for 2027 sailings. The prices include the emissions (ETS) charge. They are “from” prices, so the cheapest sailings go first.

Our tip
P&O and Irish Ferries sell the same kind of fare on Dover to Calais: P&O day trips from £55 and Irish Ferries short breaks from £95. The cheapest changes per sailing, so compare all three for your date.
Our verdict
Dunkirk is the difference: DFDS is the only operator on Dover to Dunkirk, which suits trips to Belgium and the Netherlands. On Calais, let the price for your sailing decide.
