About DFDS

DFDS provides a unique maritime experience for all guests onboard with an international level of service. Founded in 1866, DFDS has provided passenger ferry services for more than 158 years, with a fleet considered to be one of the largest in northern Europe.

The DFDS affiliate programme is for UK websites wishing to promote sea routes from Newcastle to Amsterdam, Dover-Dunkirk/Calais, Newhaven to Dieppe, Jersey routes and the Baltic routes.

DFDS international sites have their own individual affiliate programmes, and you should join these if you wish to promote wider routes.

All affiliates on the DFDS programme will be contacted via email a minimum of once per month, detailing the latest creatives, products and offers, plus general affiliate news.

DFDS provide a range of regularly updated banners available in a minimum of four sizes promoting a range of products. These are available as GIF files and some campaigns include Flash files. Text links and deeplinking are also permitted.
