Short Breaks to Amsterdam

Take a short break to Amsterdam with DFDS and explore everything the Dutch capital has to offer. Our 6-day short break with car gives you time to visit the local attractions, sample the regional specialities, and simply unwind. Or if you’d prefer a shorter visit, our mini cruise is ideal!

Our mini cruise includes a return crossing and coach transfers to Amsterdam, plus a day to explore the vibrant city centre.
