Childrens Entertainment
Experience our onboard children's entertainment - Newcastle to Amsterdam
Our children’s entertainer is on hand on all Newcastle to Amsterdam sailings to entertain our mini pirates.
Little ones can enjoy treasure hunts, drawing competitions, games, and face painting – all for free – and look forward to a guest appearance by our mascot Jack the Pirate!
Please note: The children's entertainer does not operate a childcare facility; all children must be accompanied by an adult. The entertainment programme changes depending on the entertainer's specialist skills.

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