Two night mini cruise

As the transfer from the port to the city centre only takes 20 minutes, you’ll have plenty of time to explore everything Newcastle has to offer in the 5 hours that you’ll spend there. It’ll also give you the chance to savour the city’s grand architecture or even to cross the famous Tyne Bridge or Millennium Bridge, among the city’s most recognisable sights.

Mini Cruise Breaks to the UK, Denmark, Norway and Holland, Sweden and Lithuania

The three European cruise routes between Denmark and Norway and Holland and the UK and Sweden and Lithuania, are great ways to discover Europe, Scandinavia and Baltics. A mini cruise is also an exciting and cost effective alternative to a flight and expensive hotels.

The two mini cruise routes cover three of Europe's main capitals - Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Oslo, as well as the exciting and dynamic city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Our newest route between Karlshamn and Klaipeda is a great link towards Southern Sweden and Baltics region.
