From September, DFDS will offer seven weekly roundtrips on the Rosslare ⇄ Dunkirk route by adding a third vessel to the route to provide increased  capacity for freight operators and more travel options for passengers during the holiday season.

DFDS will significantly strengthen its Rosslare ⇄ Dunkirk route this September with the addition of two extra weekly roundtrips. The third vessel will join Athena and Victoria Seaways, which already operate on the route. 

Growing demand for direct transport links between Ireland and continental Europe continues to drive the need for additional capacity. To meet this demand, DFDS is expanding its schedule to offer a total of seven weekly roundtrips, providing greater 
flexibility for freight hauliers and more travel options for holidaymakers seeking convenient, direct access to mainland Europe.

“We are committed to supporting Ireland’s freight economy and enhancing connectivity between Ireland and continental Europe. Bringing a third vessel into service on this route will strengthen our offering, providing more capacity, improved schedule choice, and the reliability our customers expect from DFDS”, says Owen Hides, Route Director, DFDS. 

Since its launch in 2021, the Rosslare ⇄ Dunkirk service has built a strong reputation among freight operators for its dependable performance and efficient operations.
