Newcastle to Amsterdam
Newcastle ferry port is situated 8 miles east of Newcastle City Centre on the north bank of the River Tyne and Newcastle ferries arrive and depart from Royal Quays dock. The Modern Passenger Ferry Terminals operated by DFDS Seaways deal with over 700,000 passengers a year and offer excellent facilities including covered walkways, check-in areas and automated baggage handling. With scheduled ferry sailings departing from Newcastle to Stavanger, Bergen, Haugesund, Gothenburg, Kristiansand and Amsterdam make Newcastle ferry port the ideal gateway to the North Sea.
Holland’s uniquely atmospheric capital, Amsterdam is its most popular destination, while the rest of the country, despite its accessibility, is comparatively untouched by tourism. The capital has a welcoming attitude and a uniquely youthful atmosphere. Ferries to Amsterdam disembark at the port of Ijmuiden at the entrance to the Amsterdam Canal, just 20km from the city centre. Amsterdam ferry port is connected with the North Sea by the North Sea Canal (opened in 1876), which can accommodate large ocean going vessels making it one of the largest ferry ports and offers an excellent connection to the UK with the Amsterdam to Newcastle ferry.
