Migration Mini Cruises

By guest blogger Steve Newman.

There is a misconception amongst much of the public that all cruises have to be at least seven nights long. Now, however, thanks to DFDS Seaways, you can discover the wildlife and beautiful landscapes of the island of Fanø on a superb fully guided break, with three nights onboard, including one night in port and a day and a half on this beautiful Danish island.

This perfect break for families and eco-interested travellers is sailing from Harwich to Esbjerg in Denmark in September and October and is a fantastic opportunity to take in the marine wildlife and learn from a team of highly qualified experts. Once onboard, guests step out on deck in search of seals, porpoises and migrating birds with the expert wildlife spotters. Then afterwards why not relax and enjoy the interactive wildlife presentations?

Arriving in Esbjerg the next day, you head to Fanø, an internationally important breeding ground for migrating birds, as well as having some beautiful beaches and dunes. You can now watch thousands of birds in action, wheeling into incredible patterns in the sky as they make their fuel-stops en route between their wintering and breeding grounds.

Denmark’s largest colony of Common and Grey Seals is also on the agenda, plus there is time to explore old Scandinavian villages.

Prices are from just £140pp and include 3 nights on board, (2 sailing, 1 in port in Esbjerg), 1½ days of guided bird and wildlife watching on Fanø including ferry and local transport, plus presentations and fun activities on board. Or, including breakfasts and evening meals on board, prices are from £208pp.

  1. This is a really interesting development for this cruise-ferry line, and should certainly appeal to regular cruisers who might like to try something different, and at a great price!
