Is a 15–17 hour ferry crossing to Amsterdam a hassle—or a mini getaway?
Is a 15–17 hour crossing from Newcastle to Amsterdam really a drawback, or is it more like a mini getaway?
Although a flight takes only about an hour and 20 minutes (flight time, don't forget the hassle and stuff you need to do at the airport), the DFDS ferry transforms the journey truly into a cruise experience.
From restaurants and bars to live entertainment and even duty-free shopping, you’re not just getting from A to B. You’re enjoying a relaxed, engaging experience at sea.
You can't compare that with the ‘bus-like' experience on low-cost flights.
Comfortable cabins also mean you can arrive in Amsterdam well-rested, making the longer travel time feel more like a vacation than a burden.
