DFDS A/S.

The house flag is described as unchanged since DFDS began, though its white cross varies in size and Nüsse’s table flag places it towards the hoist. Merchant Ships 1942 gives a very broad red funnel band; photographs vary in band width and sometimes show a vessel-name pennant at the foremast.

To distinguish the common black-and-red funnel, a white cross in a blue circle was added from 1 January 1967; Mitchell dates it to December 1966. It initially served both passenger and cargo ships, as confirmed by Tor Scandinavia in July 1986. Later sources distinguish it as the cargo funnel. The company history says freight vessels retained black and red with a white cross until 1992, when dark blue with a white-ringed cross replaced it.

The company decided in 1985 to paint passenger ships white with a white cross and racing stripes in three blue shades, inspired by Scandinavian World Cruises’ Scandinavia. Rosanoski dates adoption to May–June 1986 and relates it to DFDS Seaways. Admiral of Scandinavia confirms the funnel. Duke of Scandinavia, formerly Dana Anglia, has the stripes lowered towards the base because the funnel top is open for ventilation; photographs confirm light, middle and dark blues.

This livery is given for DFDS Transport and DFDS Baltic Line, including Dana Cimbria.
