The DFDS Princess
Germany is becoming more and more popular as a holiday destination. From the clean sandy beaches of the North Sea and Baltic coasts, through the great forests and mountains, to the balmy shores of Lake Constance and skiing in the Bavarian Alps, it has something for everyone, at remarkably good value. Then there are the great cities of Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen, Frankfurt and Cologne with their architecture and sophistication, and small towns which retain their historic character as some of the major centres of European culture.

DFDS Ferry Routes
Scandinavia offers just about everything for a great self-drive holiday. The roads are wide and empty, and the drivers are courteous and considerate. More than two or three cars at traffic lights are considered a traffic jam! Experience driving like it was in the UK back in the fifties. And then there's the scenery, especially in Sweden and Norway. Mile after mile of spectacular fjords and mountains plunging to the sea, smooth dirt roads up in the north where you can discover why the Scandinavians do so well at rally driving. Enjoy the wonderful integrated public transport system of cosmopolitan Oslo. Chill out in the myriad friendly bars of Copenhagen before setting off across the new bridge linking Denmark to Sweden to explore the waterways of sophisticated Stockholm.
