CASE STORY

Campaign to act and raise awareness

Being the world’s leading ferry operator the Ocean is truly close to home for DFDS.

In connection to Earth Day 2022, DFDS launched a campaign to act and raise awareness on ocean plastic pollution. Throughout the campaign passengers had the chance to book a mini cruise from Oslo to Copenhagen and the full amount for the cruise went directly to remove plastic from oceans and rivers via ReSea Project.

Each cruise sold stopped the equivalent of 625 plastic straws from polluting the ocean.
