Columbus Club

Looking for a party atmosphere? The Columbus Club is the largest bar onboard and is our main venue for live music, entertainment and of course a great selection of drinks. There’s even an extensive cocktail menu – choose yours and watch it be shaken to perfection right in front of you!

Why not start the evening with a game of bingo? You may be lucky and win a bottle of bubbly or vouchers to spend in the bar! Then enjoy live performances from quality bands who are sure to get you on the dancefloor.

Please note that access to Compass and Columbus bars might be limited on the 10th, 11th, 24th, 25th of March and 29th of April.

When the sun goes down, the excitement ramps up. Enjoy a final song and dance with our live music, before our DJ takes over and turns Columbus into a nightclub.

Dance until the early hours before resting your feet and head in your onboard cabin, enjoying a well deserved sleep.

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

We are also proud to announce that we have been nominated as Europe’s Leading Ferry Operator 2025 and this amazing journey continues, first and foremost, thanks to you.

To our loyal passengers who put their trust in us, our valued partners and our hard-working colleagues: this nomination is also yours. You are the heart of DFDS and today, we’d like to say THANK YOU.

Let's continue to create beautiful memories and cross the finish line together.
