Coach trips to France with DFDS have just got even better. Not only are there great benefits for drivers and discounts for groups, now there is the added bonus of Duty Free shopping onboard and at the ports. 

Shop Duty Free onboard DFDS’s ferries to France and save up to 50 per cent compared to UK high street. The Côte d’Opale ferry which runs between Dover and  Calais boasts the largest duty free shop on the channel at 1100sqm. That’s plenty of space for some serious retail therapy. 

On arrival into France, visitors have the choice of two Duty Free Shops at the Dunkirk and Calais ports. Stocking a wide range of premium spirits, wines and beers, these shops offer huge savings compared to popular high street stores. At the Dunkerque Duty Free Shop, you can also browse designer perfumes, cosmetics and an impressive range of Lego.

Open daily between 08:30 – 19:30, there is ample parking outside which makes it easy for visitors to bulk buy their favourite tipples to take back home. 

Example savings on products available in the shop, compared to UK high street and online retail prices, include:

• 57% off Beefeater Pink Gin (1 litre) – save £13.56

• 50% off Famous Grouse Whisky (1 litre) – save £9.88

• 53% off Yellow Tail Sauvignon Blanc (12 x 75 cl) – save £44.52

• 39% off Heineken (5 x case of 24) – save £42.55

With short crossings of less than two hours, it’s easy to get to these shoreside Duty Free Shops and offers a great day of retail therapy. 

DFDS is offering special rates for more than 10 bookings per year to visit their shoreside Duty Free shops and with great incentives for groups and drivers, you won’t want to miss out.
