These holidays allow passengers to enjoy the complete on board experience of a DFDS Seaways break along with the delights of what our wonderful destinations offer.

“Having listened to agent requests, we have been able to provide a greater portfolio of holidays including a larger range of cottage and activity holidays as well as introducing river cruising to give even greater choice to our customers. We’re confident our wide range of holidays for 2009 will be attractive to our agents and provide fantastic selling opportunities, and in turn prove to be a success.”
