Why limit yourself when you can have the best of both worlds? In addition to our popular and frequent ferry service from Calais, DFDS proudly offers an exclusive route from Dunkirk. This additional path to England not only provides more sailings and gives you the choice of travelling from the port closest to you, but with exclusive access to the Port of Dunkirk, you'll also benefit from less traffic and shorter queues compared to Calais, which is served by multiple operators and more travellers.
Plus, DFDS gives you the unique opportunity to easily book a return journey on either route – depending on which departure time suits you better.
