Compass Bar
Experience the Compass Bar - Newcastle to Amsterdam
The lounge setting of the Compass Bar makes it a great place to sit back and relax while onboard.
Laid back and comfortable, the background music in this bar creates a pleasant atmosphere for catching up over a beer, glass of wine or branded spirits. It’s a great place for after-dinner drinks and wine, whisky and beer tasting sessions can also be arranged to kickstart your holiday!
Please note that access to Compass and Columbus bars might be limited on the 10th, 11th, 24th, 25th of March and 29th of April.
Whisky Tasting Sessions
Our skilled Compass Bar 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!
To book, please head to the Guest Service Centre or to the Compass Bar when you are onboard.
