DFDS reveals NEW Relax Lounge as part of a £3.9m refit investment
DFDS’ Dunkerque Seaways will be 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, the company said in its release.
The ships’ Premium Lounge areas have been fully refurbished with comfortable lounge furniture and modern décor to provide the luxurious and peaceful surroundings demanded by the modern traveller. This private lounge is open 24 hours a day and is available for all ages from £12 per person each way.
With the success of the Horizon restaurant, a pizza, pasta, salad concept on the Dover to Calais routes, the refit also includes this restaurant being installed on all three ships on the Dover to Dunkirk route.
Steve Newbery, Onboard Commercial Director for BU Short Routes and Passenger at DFDS 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.
The refit was designed by SMC Design and carried out by Aecor Marine, with the bathrooms being fitted by Trimline.
Delft Seaways will be fully refitted from 1st March with Dover Seaways at the end of March 2020.
Crossings from Dover to Dunkirk are from £45 each way for a car and up to nine passengers.
