As we mentioned in an article last year, facilities on board ferries vary from ship to ship. Depending on the route and type of vessel, some drivers can take advantage of a full plethora of services. While some of the simpler, freight only vessels offer much cosier and simpler options.

DFDS Seaways prides itself on its Road Kings service, providing dedicated trade-only restaurant and lounge areas on their ferries. The freight driver specific lounges provide a comfortable place to relax and unwind, whilst also giving drivers time to rest.

HGV and commercial van drivers can also take advantage of a delicous hot meal, which is included in their ferry booking. Just present your boarding card or lane hanger and a choice of five meals is on offer.

In addition to a meal and unlimited hot & soft drinks free of charge, drivers can also make use of the modern shower and toilet facilities.
