DFDS has provided passenger services for more than 130 years, with a fleet considered to be one of the largest in northern Europe. We currently operate six modern passenger ships and to make a comparison can say that we are one of Scandinavia's largest “hotel chains”, with approx. 9,000 “bed-nights” every night during the summer season and “parking facilities” for 2,500 cars. In a year, we transport approximately 1.8 million passengers and 200,000 cars on eight routes traversing the sea between Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Holland, and Great Britain.

In March DFDS Seaways introduced the biggest ever ship to cruise from Newcastle on a scheduled service the m.s. King of Scandinavia. The ship underwent major refurbishment to bring it up to the standards expected of a DFDS Seaways Holidayliner, the new ship offers customers a wide range of quality onboard facilities. More cabins than ever before will have a breathtaking seaview and the four restaurants choices include buffet and a la carte options. With two onboard cinemas guests can keep up-to-date and catch the latest blockbuster movies or they can enjoy a wide range of wines, beers and spirits in the brand new Sports Bar or even dance the night away in the Columbus Club to live entertainment. If relaxation is more the order of the day, the Observation Lounge is the perfect place to relax and while away the hours and watch the world go by. What’s more there will be even more Commodore Deluxe class cabins with in-room televisions, mini-bars and fresh fruit for those guests wanting a little bit more luxury.
