Family Travel

Ferry travel is the best type of travel for families. Pack as much luggage as you like, including everything you need for the little ones. Our Amsterdam-Newcastle ferries provide a range of facilities and entertainment for all ages, including a soft play area, arcade games and live entertainer. Don’t forget to explore the deck, too, keeping an eye out for any dolphins, whales and more.

Travelling by ferry lets you relax and enjoy some quality family time. Sit down for a meal together, with children’s menus in both our restaurants and kids under 3 dine free!

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