DFDS discount codes for April 2025 – up to 15% off ferry crossings
From quick trips to Calais to Amsterdam mini cruises, these are the DFDS voucher codes to know
Brits love jetting off to sunnier climes but if you’re looking for a more cost-effective way to soak up the sun, taking a ferry could be the perfect solution. With so many destinations reachable by boat from the UK – namely Jersey, Amsterdam and France – a dream holiday doesn’t have to mean paying for hiked-up airfare during half term and the summer holidays.
It’s not just ferries that offer a flight-free way to explore the world because cruise holidays offer another perfect solution. With cruising on the rise, particularly among solo travellers, we’ve made it our mission to help you save on your next trip, rounding up the best cruise deals for 2025.
Similarly, here we’ve found the best ways to save on your next channel crossing or cruise holiday with DFDS, the leading ferry operator that offers a variety of holiday packages to destinations across Europe. Keep scrolling for our money-saving tips and tricks.
Known for its beaches, rich history and being the sunniest place in the British Isles, a trip to Jersey has that perfect blend of British tradition and an air of calm that you find across the channel. Day trips start from just 84 Euro for one car, which is a steal when you break it down per person.
If it’s France that takes your fancy, whether you’re heading over for a family trip to Disneyland Paris or to laze on the beach, DFDS has you covered. There are some incredible offers to be had on ferry crossings to and from France, with return prices from just £39 per car, including up to four people.
If seeing the spring tulips in Amsterdam is on your bucket list, we’d recommend booking one of the DFDS mini cruise deals. Not only can you soak up the Dutch culture off the boat with return coach transfers included, there’s a choice of restaurants, bars and entertainment to enjoy onboard. Prices start at just £75 per person, so don’t sleep on this one.
