DFDS to Upgrade Karlshamn–Klaipeda Service with CIUDAD DE VALENCIA

By 2026 Newsletter week 14

From mid-September 2026, DFDS will strengthen its Karlshamn–Klaipeda service with the chartered CIUDAD DE VALENCIA.

Adding the modern Visentini RoPax will bring a major increase in passenger capacity and extra freight space, supporting further growth on the Baltic route.

Built in 2020, CIUDAD DE VALENCIA can carry up to 950 passengers and offers 2,562 lane metres. Capacity includes space for 250 cars.

Compared with the vessel it replaces (OPTIMA SEAWAYS), passenger capacity will almost triple.

DFDS currently operates two RoPax ferries on the Karlshamn–Klaipeda route. It also runs four other ferries on Baltic Sea routes linking Germany and Sweden, Sweden and Estonia, and Denmark and Lithuania.

The newly built ro-pax unit CIUDAD DE VALENCIA (hull n° 229) left the Cantiere Navale Visentini shipyard in Porto Viro (Rovigo) and is currently in the port of Trieste for some final works before sea trials start.

The vessel will join Trasmediterranea’s fleet in long time charter and is expected to be deployed on the routes linking Spain mainland to Canary or Balearic Islands.
The delivery will take place before the end of July.

Designed by Naos Design, this ro-pax unit is 203m long, 25m wide and will be able to accommodate 1,000 passengers and 2,600 linear metres of ro-ro cargo.

Cantiere Navale Visentini is already working on the next two ro-pax new buildings with delivery scheduled before summer 2021 (the first one) and in 2022 (the second one ordered by Corsica Linea).
