Compass Bar

The Compass Bar is your go-to spot on board for smooth background music, carefully crafted drinks, and just the right amount of energy to set the mood for your crossing.

Pull up a seat, order a beer, a glass of wine, or something from our range of branded spirits, and let the evening take shape at its own pace. It's the kind of place where good conversation flows as easily as the drinks, making it the perfect spot to wind down after dinner.

Our Compass Bar is available exclusively on board of King Seaways.

If you are interested in a whisky tasting session, please note those are now hosted at the Navigators Pub.

Our skilled Navigators Pub staff are passionate about the drinks they serve and are ready to share their knowledge by organising whisky tasting sessions. A great way to start or finish your trip, you’ll learn about the production processes behind your favourite tipples, enjoying tasters while you do so!

Our overnight ferry crossings between Newcastle and Amsterdam boast an array of fantastic onboard facilities, including bars, restaurants, shopping and more.

We are also proud to announce that we have been nominated as Europe’s Leading Ferry Operator 2026 and this amazing journey continues, first and foremost, thanks to you.

To our loyal passengers who put their trust in us, our valued partners and our hard-working colleagues: this nomination is also yours. You are the heart of DFDS and today, we’d like to say THANK YOU.

Let's continue to create beautiful memories and cross the finish line together.
