The DFDS story is not just one of ferries and destinations. It is a celebration of the human spirit, the power of connection, and the magic that happens when dreams set sail.

Take a look behind the scenes, meet some of the people dedicated to the details that perfect your journey, and dip in to our steadfast and continuous commitment to life-affirming moments and lifelong memories.

We’ve been the World’s Leading Ferry Operator for the last 13 years, and have just retained our status as Europe’s Leading Ferry Operator at the prestigious 2024 Travel Awards.

It’s testament to our collective strive for excellence at all touchpoints – and to ensuring you enjoy outstanding experiences with us.

We’ve come a long way, over almost 160 years of growth. DFDS’ centuries-spanning purpose of ‘We move for all to Grow’ was born in 1866. Through dedication and ambition, our countless journeys have consistently been seamless, reassuring, inspiring and rewarding.

DFDS recognises its inherent responsibility as a marine operator to help protect the environment we all share. That’s why we collaborate with a wide range of partners to better understand and care for marine ecosystems, reduce our emissions, mitigate the impact we have on the planet – and give you the opportunity to get involved.
