Short Breaks

Experience the perfect short break on our Dover to France and Newcastle-Amsterdam crossings. For those seeking a brief escape, set sail with us from the UK to Holland for an Amsterdam city break. Stay one or more nights in your chosen hotel and explore all that this vibrant city has to offer. We provide a variety of European city and short breaks via our mini cruise trips, including ferries to France.

Choose between a cruise & stay break where you secure your own accommodation in Amsterdam, or a hotel break where your hotel stay is part of the package. Our Newcastle to Holland short breaks are the perfect way to unwind!

Alternatively, spend a short break in France, exploring Dunkirk and Calais, or further afield. With our exclusive rates at partner hotels and attractions, you can fully immerse yourself in the French experience.

Don't forget to make use of our Duty Free shopping onboard or at our Calais and Dunkirk stores, where you can save up to 50% compared to UK high street prices. Enjoy a unique short break with us, today!
