Driving to property in France for a Disneyland Paris break could be the ideal way to add some magic to your summer with DFDS Seaways.

With the focus on road, rail and sea travel renewed by the recent volcanic eruption of Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland, DFDS Seaways suggests taking the family on a "magical trip" to the Paris resort.

Travelling by sea helps to remove some of the stress associated with air travel, the company adds, such as fears relating to cancellations or delays.

A trip to Disneyland Paris via Amsterdam can also cut hundreds of miles from the overall journey, despite passing through a third country between the family home in the UK and vacation property in France.

Heading to Dover and then to Calais, before driving to Paris, can take north-east residents more than 200 miles out of their way, the ferry operator claims, compared with travelling via Amsterdam from Newcastle.
