20% off on DFDS Newhaven-Dieppe for over 60’s

In case this is useful to know…we just got £100 off our Newhaven-Dieppe crossing next week by making our booking by phone. That was a nice surprise. We’re in a campervan.

A couple of points for clarification; As long as one member of the party is over 60, the 20% reduction applies to all travellers in the party. The booking has to be made by phone because the reduction is funded by the local Chamber of Commerce, so not part of the DFDS Booking System , and has to remain separate under the Terms of the Agreement

The phone number connects automatically to the DFDS Contact Centre in France [pre-COVID, there was also an English Contact Centre and a separate 0800 number], but the French staff will happily switch to English to make the Reservation. The only real drawback is that the Contact Centre runs on CET, so will be 1 hour ahead, and will be closed on French Bank Holidays [Opening Times are on DFDS Website], but the hours of operation have been extended gradually since the COVID Restrictions were relaxed

Lastly, if you need to make a Reservation when the Contact Centre is closed, you can email DFDS [Website has details]. The automated response promises a reply within 5 working days [IIRC!], but if you enter 'Make a Reservation' or similar as the Heading and mark the email as 'High Prioriiy,, the Contact Centre will usually reply the following day
