Cruise your way to serious fun
If you are looking for a fun filled break away with family, friends or a loved one, DFDS Seaways’ collection of themed mini cruises offers you the perfect break. With something for everyone these breaks offer the best of both worlds, extra fun as you cruise to Amsterdam, as well as time to explore the city when you get there.
Sailing overnight from Newcastle your themed break begins the moment you step onboard. As well as the themed activity such as dinner for two on the romantic cruise, or a laughter filled evening on the comedy cruise, you can explore and enjoy the ship’s numerous bars, restaurants, shops, cinema and live entertainment as you sail.
Arriving in Amsterdam the next morning you are transferred to the city centre with an optional sightseeing tour included. With around five hours to explore the vibrant Dutch capital, visit museums and shops, or wander down the canals and sit in the cafés watching the world go by, before returning to the cruise ferry for the return sailing.
