About DFDS Seaways
DFDS Seaways 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 145 years, with a fleet considered to be one of the largest in northern Europe.
The DFDS Seaways affiliate programme is for UK websites wishing to promote sea routes from Newcastle to Amsterdam, Dover-Dunkirk/Calais, Copenhagen to Oslo, Kiel to Klaipeda, Sassnitz to Klaipeda and Karlshamn to Klaipeda.

DFDS Seaways work with some great partners to form combined trips with Legoland, Center Parcs Europe, Novasol Cottages and more.

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