Take ferries to Denmark to enjoy 'exceptional value'

Holidaymakers who choose to take ferries to Denmark for an autumn break this year will benefit from "exceptional value", the country's national tourist board has claimed.

Visit Denmark said that prices during the October half-term break are typically between 45 and 55 per cent lower than in the summer.

Travellers interested in seeing what the country has to offer can take ferries to Esbjerg from Harwich with DFDS Seaways, which operates up to three crossings a week during the autumn.

Esbjerg ferry port serves as a gateway to the west Jutland region, which is known for its sandy beaches where visitors can go for a scenic coastal walk or take advantage of the autumn winds with a spot of kite-flying.

Denmark also boasts several indoor attractions that offer shelter from bad weather, such as Jutland Aquarium and the Viking Museum in the historic city of Ribe.

On the north-west Jutland coast, travellers can visit the sweet factory at Bolcheriet Lokken, while the city of Aarhus is home to a number of old-fashioned shops, gardens and workshops.

DFDS Seaways also provides access to Europe via its ferries to Amsterdam from Newcastle and serves the Scandinavian travel market with its Copenhagen to Oslo ferry route.
