DFDS Newcastle to Amsterdam timetables and fares
Anyone living in Northern England or Scotland should consider the Newcastle
to Amsterdam crossing as an excellent alternative to the long drive south to the
Channel Ports. You arrive in Europe refreshed after a good night's sleep. The
ferry port near Amsterdam is just a few kilometres from the motorway network
taking you onwards into Europe.
Or you might want to spend some time exploring the fabulous cultural and
artistic highlights of the Netherlands. Amsterdam is a beautiful city with its
canals and elegant old buildings, and boasts some of Europe's great museums and
art galleries.
Just a short drive down the coast from the ferry terminal at
Ijmuiden is the Dutch capital, The Hague, and also nearby is the town of Delft,
famous for its ceramics. Rotterdam is a lively modern city with some spectacular
architecture, great nightlife, and more than its share of museums and galleries.
No ferry company is currently sailing to a port in Germany, yet Germany is
becoming more and more popular as a holiday destination. From the clean sandy
beaches of the North Sea and Baltic coasts, through the great forests and
mountains, to the balmy shores of Lake Constance and skiing in the Bavarian
Alps, Germany has something for everyone, at remarkably good value.
Then there
are the great cities of Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen, Frankfurt and Cologne with
their architecture and sophistication, and small towns which retain their
historic character as some of the major centres of European culture. So why not
sail to Amsterdam with DFDS, from where it is only a couple of hours' drive to
the German border.
