DFDS has begun rolling out its new-look passenger areas on ferries operating its Dover to Dunkirk route.
Dunkerque Seaways is the first of the three ships on the Dover to Dunkirk route to reveal a number of new looks as part of a £3.9m investment.
From this week, passengers looking for peace and quiet can enjoy the new Relax Lounge, for over 16s only. Entry costs from £6 per person each way.
The ships’ 24-hour Premium Lounge areas have also been fully refurbished, available for all ages from £12 per person each way, including a complimentary glass of Prosecco, premium snacks and pastries, refreshments and hot food available.
Following the success of the Horizon restaurant – a pizza, pasta, salad concept on DFDS’ Dover to Calais routes – the refit also includes this restaurant being installed on all three ships on the Dover to Dunkirk route.
Passengers can place their order, take a buzzer with them to their table and collect their meals when called.
Also upgraded are the bathroom facilities throughout the ship as well as newly installed TVs in the Lighthouse Café.
Steve Newbery, onboard commercial director said: "This is a very exciting refit programme and continues on from last year’s successes with our Lighthouse Café and demonstrates our commitment to improving the passenger experience on board our DFDS ferries.
"We believe the improvements will help our passengers increase their sense of relaxation and give them the best possible start to their onward journeys. Many of the changes are in response to ideas and suggestions from our customers, so I am looking forward to the feedback from our passengers."
