FerryFacts - North Sea & Scandinavia

 

Ferries from the UK to Holland and Denmark including:

  • Latest offers on DFDS Newcastle - Amsterdam
  • DFDS sailings from Harwich to Esbjerg
  • Stena Line crossings Harwich - Hook of Holland
  • We've included DFDS Denmark to Norway (Copenhagen - Oslo) too.

 

There are several routes that bring you in style to northern Europe. As most of these crossings take over 6 hours, comfort is extremely important and many of the ferries on these routes are really small luxury cruise ships, with excellent restaurants, entertainment for children and adults, comfortable lounges and cabins for the overnight crossings. 

 

DFDS / Norfolk Line Harwich - Esbjerg   click here >>

 

DFDS sail overnight every other day from Harwich to Esbjerg on the west coast of Denmark. The journey takes just under 19 hours and is a wonderful leisurely way to begin a holiday or to take a mini-cruise. Cabins are spacious and the restaurants are excellent, particularly the all-you-can-eat buffet.

 - dep. Harwich at 17.45 and arr. Esbjerg at 13.00 the following day

 - dep. Esbjerg at 19.45 and arr. Harwich at 12.00 the following day

Sailings are alternate days from each port - see the DFDS website for dates

 

 

DFDS / Norfolk Line Newcastle - Amsterdam   click here >>

 

More correctly, this route is from North Shields to IJmuiden, but is usually referred to as Newcastle to Amsterdam.  Journey time is around 17 hours, so this is another overnight ferry service.  Ferries sail daily.

 - dep. Newcastle at 17.00 and arr. IJmuiden at 09.30 the next day

 - dep. IJmuiden at 17.30 and arr. Newcastle at 09.00 the next day

DFDS / Norfolk Line Copenhagen - Oslo   click here >>

 

Budget airlines have sadly put an end to the DFDS routes from the UK to Gothenburg in Sweden and Oslo in Norway. To reach Oslo by car or rail now entails travelling across Denmark to Copenhagen, then taking the ferry. The journey from Esbjerg to Copenhagen takes around 3 hours.

- dep Copenhagen daily at 17.00 arrives Oslo at 09.15 next morning

- dep Oslo daily at 17.00 arrives Copenhagen at 09.15 next morning

 

 

 

NB We regularly check and update timtables but it is your responsibility to check the times of any sailing that you book.
