Kids' Club
Kids' Club - Amsterdam to Newcastle
Keeping young children entertained is one of the biggest challenges for families during travel. That’s why we offer a dedicated soft play area, so you can relax and enjoy our facilities while your little ones pass the time in a safe and enjoyable environment.
Entertaining the little ones
The onboard Kids’ Club has a mix of activities including a ball pool, toys and cartoons to keep our mini customers happy, while adults can kick back in the nearby café and enjoy a drink while they play. Depending on your departure date, the Kids’ Club may also include a special appearance from our mascot, Jack the Pirate!
On all departures there’s a free Pirates’ Club run by our children’s entertainer.
