DFDS

Picturesque canals, world class galleries and museums, fine restaurants and intriguing coffee shops – whatever floats your boat, Amsterdam has it in abundance.

Make the most of this cosmopolitan city with this Big Deal on a two night mini-cruise from Newcastle to Amsterdam with DFDS.

Explore Amsterdam

Leaving from the International Passenger Terminal at Royal Quays in North Shields, you will travel overnight to Amsterdam.

After a good night’s sleep in an ensuite cabin, a coach will transfer you to central Amsterdam and you can explore this great city for the day.

You could start the day in the Van Gogh Museum and finish off in the House of Bols cocktail experience or the Heineken Experience.

There is also an abundance of places to eat and drink – from traditional pubs to trendy bars and thousands of restaurants from all corners of the globe.

The return coach will take you back to port and your overnight journey back to Newcastle.

The offer applies on the following departures;

January – 11th, 19th, 25th, 27th & 29th.

February – 10th, 16th, 18th, 19th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th & 29th.

Friday and Saturday departures will be charged a £20 supplement.

Bars and restaurants

Unlike being crammed onto a budget flight, your journey to Amsterdam is part of the fun.

DFDS ships have onboard bars and lounges with live music and entertainment; a cinema showing the latest Hollywood blockbusters; a games room; casino and kids club.

They also have a great choice of places to eat. From the Seven Seas all-you-can-eat buffet to the a la carte Blue Riband Restaurant in the Explorer’s Steakhouse, you are guaranteed a fantastic meal to suit your taste buds.

The offer includes a £10 voucher redeemable against food and beverages on board the ship or in the shop.

Easy to get to

The International Ferry Terminal is easy to reach by car or you can take the DFDS bus which leaves from Newcastle Central Station before each sailing.

Happy travellers

The Newcastle Amsterdam mini-cruise has attracted enthusiastic reviews from people who have sailed with DFDS:

‘If you have a couple of days for a break, I can’t think of a better trip, offering tremendous value for money as well as a chance to explore one of Europe’s most culturally diverse cities. The boat is child friendly with kids clubs as well as two cinemas, numerous eating options, gaming machines, bingo, a casino and a night club as well as more sedate options, a quieter bar, live music… Your break starts the moment you arrive at the port.’

‘Great little trip. Amsterdam is lovely and the trip over was great the ship was pretty good for its size and food was lovely too. Would use again and recommend to all.’

If you have always wanted to see Amsterdam, this Big Deal with DFDS offers a comfortable and convenient way to travel to this famous city.

The return to work will seem a lot less daunting if you have an Amsterdam jaunt in the diary…
