With DFDS, there is no limit to your luggage. Only the transport possibilities in the entrained car give the luggage limit. However, you should load your vehicle properly and safely. Foot passengers must be able to carry their luggage independently on board.

When traveling on a DFDS ferry in 2026, you have significantly more freedom than on an aircraft, as there are generally no strict baggage weight or piece limits if you are traveling with a vehicle. You can pack as much as your car or van can safely carry, which is ideal for road trips or moving house. However, there are strict rules regarding dangerous and restricted goods. You may carry up to 3 gas cylinders (propane/butane) for camping, provided they weigh less than 47kg and are declared. Flammable hygiene products like perfumes and aerosols are limited to 2kg or 2 liters per person. Following recent agricultural health updates in 2026, there are temporary restrictions on bringing meat and dairy products into the UK from the EU; any such food purchased on board must be consumed during the crossing and cannot be taken off the ship. For foot passengers, you are restricted to what you can physically carry, and no "dangerous goods" (including loose gas canisters or fireworks) are permitted. It is also mandatory to declare any firearms (Category B, C, or D) well in advance, and they must be stored securely in your vehicle away from public view for the duration of the voyage.
