Taking the ferry to Scotland

If you want to go on holiday to Scotland with your own car, the ferry to Newcastle is ideal! Make the crossing part of your trip and experience comfort, space and relaxation on board.

During the crossing you will not be bored, because there are several restaurants, a nightclub and various bars with live music, a cinema, a casino and the SeaShop with great Duty Free offers. We advise you to book both dinner and breakfast before departure. In fact, your holiday starts as soon as the ferry leaves, after which you can start your Scottish adventure well rested the next morning.
