Transport links - how to get to Europe

Perhaps one of the first thoughts, when booking a self catering holiday in Europe, is how to get there! Do you want to bring your own car, go by plane, ferry or perhaps train, and should you then rent a car at your destination.

Below are some of our partners. We wish you a pleasant trip to your holiday rental!

By Ferry

DFDS Seaways has three ferry routes from the UK to Europe:

Sail from Harwich in Essex to the fishing port of Esbjerg, the gateway to Denmark. From there it’s an easy and scenic drive through Denmark, only 3.5 hours to Copenhagen and an hour to northern Germany. Furthermore the Oresund Bridge linking Copenhagen and Malmo in Sweden provides an easy access to southern Sweden. From Copenhagen you can also catch the ferry to Oslo in Norway. See snow capped mountains, blue lakes and miles of fjord coastline.

Choose the daily crossing from Newcastle to Amsterdam  in Holland and Germany, France and Belgium are within easy reach. DFDS Seaways also operates a route across the channel from Dover to Dunkirk.

Having your own car at your destination is a great convenience, so simply relax and enjoy the unique overnight experience of travelling with DFDS Seaways. Drive on, check in and enjoy the onboard facilities including bars with live entertainment, restaurants, shops, play area, a cinema and more.
