Timetables

Newcastle - Amsterdam
Our daily, overnight North Sea ferries sailing between Newcastle and Holland offer a convenient way for those living in the north of England and Scotland to cross the North Sea and open the gateway to Europe. Take your vehicle with you and from our port in IJmuiden, near Amsterdam, you’ll find easy access to destinations in Holland, Germany, France and Belgium. At DFDS, we believe that your journey should be just as enjoyable as any other part of your trip, so our modern, comfortable cruise ferries come equipped with 4 restaurants, bars, a club, shops and live entertainment to help you enjoy every moment of your crossing.

Copenhagen - Oslo
Our North Sea ferries between Copenhagen and Oslo are packed with excellent facilities and amenities to help ensure that your trip is as comfortable as possible. Tuck in at any of the onboard restaurants, including an Italian, an all-you-can-eat buffet, a steakhouse and the gourmet Marco Polo restaurant. You can also relax in the Bubble Zone, with jacuzzis and pools to enjoy, catch a movie in the cinema, or head to one of the bars for a drink. After sailing along the gorgeous Swedish coast, you’ll arrive in either Oslo or Copenhagen, both cosmopolitan and cultural capitals in their own right, ready to continue your journey, whether you’re scouting Scandinavia or exploring Europe, there’s no more convenient way to travel with your car or other vehicle.
