![[AD] What to expect when you're travelling with @dfdsuk π³οΈ
This weekend was the first time we've travelled with #DFDS as a family, and the first time travelling by a Ferry this size for the boy, therefore we're delighted to share our experience - including the Premium Lounge that @dfdsuk kindly treated us to β΄οΈ
Starting our trip in Dover, it took 2 hours to get to Calais, although this went surprisingly quick thanks to everything you can find on board. As well as plenty of space to walk around and windows to gaze out of, there's also a Duty Free as well as a cafΓ© and restaurant. π½οΈ
The Premium Lounge was the real treat for us, though, with chaise lounge sofas, complimentary drinks and snacks, and lots of room to sit and relax. We were really impressed and it was such a great way to start our trip. π
Heading home via Newhaven from their Dieppe Port was slightly different in that the trip was going to take 4 hours (!) this time round, although we need not worry as just like their Dover Ferry there was plenty to do whilst on board. After visiting our second Duty Free, we grabbed dinner in their restaurant and then headed to their lounge area where we watched films on recliner chairs. We even braved a tour of the outside deck just before the sunset; grabbing cheeky pint from the bar on the way back to our seats. π»
This weekend has been such a treat thanks to @dfdsglobal and it's certainly given us food for thought when it comes to exploring Europe. As well as France, DFDS also have a number of ports dotted around Europe; from Amsterdam to Copenhagen!
Have you ever thought about travelling to Europe via Ferry? Where would you go?](https://lesbemums.com/wp-content/uploads/sb-instagram-feed-images/347916005_2530477677119923_2349951295740141612_nfull.jpg)
