for DFDS Seaways |
DFDS Seaways operates ferries from both Harwich
in Essex and Newcastle in the north east of England
to many North Sea destinations including in Holland,
Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Germany. The fleet that
they run is considered as one of the largest fleets
in Northern Europe.
There are seven modern passenger ferries which offer
about 9,000 Òbed-nightsÓ each night in the summer
season and has 'parking facilities' for 2,500 cars.
During each year, the company will transport over
1.7 million passengers and over 200,000 cars on
their eight routes across the North Sea.
DFDS try to offer passengers an experience of a
genuine maritime atmosphere Ð trying to provide
an excellent level of service and style. They have
many different sizes of ship which have a wide range
of facilities, but try to give each ship their own
charm and atmosphere.
As far as safety is concerned, the vessels conform
to the highest possible standards of safety regulations,
and these include the recent SOLAS requirements
(the international convention for safety of life
at sea). All of the crew are fully trained in emergency
procedures. Should there be an emergency, the necessary
practised safety routines will be immediately instigated.
When you depart land, you will hear safety regulations
presented over the loudspeakers, and you will also
find more information about safety in both your
cabin and other relevant places on board.
DFDS Seaways have come up with some ideas for some
different types of breaks. First is the Mini Cruise
Break. DFDS says that these are good for when you
are looking for a romantic break, an action packed
family outing or fun with friends. There is sufficient
time to enjoy the experience of cruising. You can
sample the bars, live entertainment and restaurants
and on the next day you can see the sights of your
destination or get transferred to a different city
before taking a boat home. Holidays and City Cruise
breaks are for longer holidays, a chance for families
to take their car on a boat to Denmark, Germany,
Holland, Sweden or Norway - perfect for weekends
with friends, family outings or a romantic weekend.
All of the DFDS ships are different in size, but
each of the them have a singular charm and atmosphere
which is why many of their travellers go frequently.
