Recognition and Awards
Recognising remarkable people
We've been consistently recognised as the World's Leading Ferry Operator at the World Travel Awards, as well as Europe's Leading Ferry Operator – and retained both titles once again in 2024.
Over the years, we’ve also won the Menu Innovation & Development Award for Leisure and Travel, and have been repeatedly recognised as having the best website in our industry – awarded again in 2024.
We're very proud to achieve such accolades year on year, and we know it’s down to our amazing international community of talented people that work so hard to make your journey such a special one.
It’s also down to you, our passengers. We celebrate by recognising those who contribute to our continued success – we couldn’t do it without you all!
With you all the way
In so many ways, we don't really see these journeys as ‘work'. Being dedicated to hospitality, it feels only natural to us to do everything we can to make your experience the best it can be – to immerse you in an unforgettable journey that we share with you and cherish as much as you do. This is our home, and we invite you aboard to make it your home for as long as you’re our esteemed guests and fellow travellers.
We see it as a real privilege to travel the seas and experience the destinations we visit, and we want you to feel the same while we share these unique experiences together. We know now much they’ll mean to you, and we look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our community of friends.
It’s a genuine pleasure.
The DFDS difference
DFDS is all about the finer details that turn a really good experience into an amazing one. For us, ‘good’ isn’t good enough, so we dedicate ourselves to continuously finding ways to do things better.
Of course, your time with us is precious. From your first encounter with DFDS, throughout your journey and all the way to our fond farewells, we know how much the details matter. They are the difference.
We see our dedication to your journey as integral to a superior experience, and why we're widely established and recognised as the world's best.
And of course, making a difference will always extend to the positive social and environmental Impact we can have at every touchpoint. Because that feels good, too.
