DFDS Seaways

M/S Pearl of Scandinavia in Oslo, Norway, August 2002.

DFDS Seaways is the passenger-carrying division of DFDS A/S. It operates five cruiseferries and one ro-pax ferry on routes connecting Denmark to Norway and United Kingdom to the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway. The company has recently (2006) renewed their fleet, purchasing M/S King of Scandinavia and M/S Princess of Norway to replace the last ships dating from the 1970s still in service. The company as acquired a reputation as something of an expert in purchasing used ships, as the last time DFDS Seaways ordered a newbuilding was in 1978. In 2006 DFDS Seaways stopped serving Sweden when M/S Princess of Scandinavia was taken off service and the Copenhagen - Oslo service ships stopped calling at Helsingborg.
