This was when ships were steam-powered, navigation was by maps, stars and primitive compasses, and when very few people travelled for pleasure. So much has changed! Yet all the while, DFDS’s growth, success and longevity has been built on embracing technological advance, being adaptable and pragmatic, and continuously identifying ways to do things better. Perhaps crucially, it’s also due to an understanding and appreciation of people – as partners, colleagues and fellow travellers.

Great music, immaculate vibes, and memories to last a lifetime. But there is more to the festival scene than Glastonbury and Coachella, especially over in France. The ever-increasing prices and difficulty of getting tickets mean that people are casting their eyes elsewhere in search of a fun, memorable festival with excellent artists, an electric atmosphere, and great value for money.
