Kids' Club

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.

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.

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.
