Getaway to Europe
Heading across the North Sea to Amsterdam is a great way to open the gateway to Europe and begin a trip to the continent. Our port in IJmuiden is conveniently located with easy access to Amsterdam, and once you are in the city centre you can hop on as train and Europe is your oyster! Enjoy a touring holiday, or InterRail trip enjoying the picturesque scenery as you go.
Onboard experience
On our Newcastle-Amsterdam ferries, there are a range of amenities and facilities to ensure that your holiday starts as soon as you board.
Sit down to a meal at one of our 3 onboard restaurants, with an all-you-can-eat buffet, traditional à la carte or steakhouse to choose from. There are also cafes and hot-and-cold breakfast buffet available.
We have a number of bars on board our ferries to Amsterdam, each offering something a little different. Enjoy the intimate atmosphere of the Navigator's or Compass Bar. But if you desire something with a little more sparkle the Columbus Club with its mix of live music and entertainment is certain to please.
Try your luck at the casino and enjoy the thrill of the roulette wheel or a game of blackjack all with cash prizes. Or take a trip to the movies and choose from a selection of the latest blockbuster films in our cinema.
