Minicruise to Newcastle

The MiniCruise starts in IJmuiden where you board the luxury cruise ferry. Start the evening well with dinner in one of our restaurants. Tip: book your dinner directly with your reservation and get a 33% discount! Continue the evening with a drink in one of the bars. A visit to the cinema or casino is also possible. The children have also been thought of with a special Kidz'club. Spend the night in a comfortable inside cabin so that you arrive to Newcastle fully rested.

After arriving at the port, the bus is already waiting to take you to the center. Everything is possible in Newcastle. High Bridge Street is a perfect place to shop. Here you will find many vintage stores and small shops. But Newcastle is more than shopping. You can walk along the river Tyne and spot the famous 7 bridges. A visit to Castle Keep is definitely recommended, at the top of this castle you have a beautiful view of the entire city.

Our mini cruise breaks are our most popular breaks, and it’s easy to see why. Not only do you get to spend time in a fantastic city, but you’ll also be treated to 2 nights onboard our modern, comfortable and well-equipped cruise ferries.

Our mini cruises are the perfect combination of a short city break and a cruise experience.

We're elated to announce that DFDS has once again retained its title as Europe’s Leading Ferry Operator at the 2024 World Travel Awards.
