DFDS Germany ApS & Co. KG

Drivers- for loading- there is a good parking in front of the port. Park there and go to office. There is self registration. Need ref number, unloading location, a telephone number. All details will give you through an sms. Wait for the message in your phone. Go to loading. Come back to the parking. You will get the CMR from the office you registered before loading. Go to drive.

DFDS ship Kiel-Klaipeda. Very clear check-in at the port office. You can check-in either at the office desk or at the self-service terminals, e.g. from 3 pm for a ship departing at 9:30 pm. Very friendly service. Then you just wait until you get to the ship.

Free toilet, bathroom you buy token at the gate. Laundry is three euros cleaning and three euros drying. Machines are next to dfds main door. You can park 24. Good lighting but be vigilant.

Although booking with a baby, and having a baby on board card on the mirror (supplied by the check in desk); they still managed to place us at the lowest possible deck (1) and then the climbing of the stairs to deck 6 starts. Loading and unloading the boat takes ages. As the design and drive trough of the boat is not handy at all. In 180° corners cars have to go and reverse an go again to be able to make the turn. Did have to wait over an hour to let through downstairs to the car. On the other hand, there is some romance in traffeling by boat. Plus there is no weight limit for your car, so bring as much stuff as you want. Recommend to either not pre order food, or only the breakfast, as might end up very full and could save costs for other meals. Announcement on board at 22:00. While leaving at 21:00. So just when the baby sleeps, load noise. Also again at 8:00, only stating breakfast is ready. It is ready long before this. Imagine a hotel doing this.... Overal the staff on board is very friendly, but not all speak English. Most do speak Lithuanian, Russian and German. It just adds to the holiday feeling. Besides pointing at stuff makes you come a long way.

Responsible organization. Classic ferry transportation. On the ferry - neat, clean, good kitchen. Negative - Unkind workers for accepting and organizing parking on the ferry
