Holiday in the Lake District
With DFDS to the Lake District: Holiday in the heart of Northern England
Experience the north of England with our new DFDS self-drive package tour: our IJmuiden-Newcastle ferry takes you straight to the heart of northern England - no other ferry connection gets you closer! Enjoy your stay in the Lake District with a comfortable hotel package and explore the beauty of Windermere, Keswick and Grasmere at your own pace.
We recommend that you spend at least 2 days enjoying the scenic walks and tours, discovering the home of 'Peter Rabbit' author Beatrix Potter and experiencing exciting adventures such as paddle boarding and canyoning. An extra DFDS tip: If you're planning a longer stay in England, take the opportunity for a day trip to the historic Hadrian's Wall to round off your trip perfectly!
