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

This accolade wouldn’t have been possible without you, our loyal passengers. Thank you for recognising the hard work of our exceptional team members who are dedicated to ensuring each voyage is as exceptional as the next.

Your ongoing support is the anchor to our success.
