Learn about our ships - Newcastle to Amsterdam
We have two fantastic ships on our Newcastle to Amsterdam route – King Seaways and Princess Seaways.
The ships on this route are called cruise ferries as they boast a huge range of facilities and entertainment options to ensure you have an enjoyable crossing. In early 2024, both ships went under major refurbishment, with renewed cabins and refreshed onboard public areas.
We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and are proud to have been named the World’s Best Ferry Operator and Europe's Leading Ferry Operator.
