Amsterdam City Break
Plan an autumn city break to Amsterdam
Taking a break on board? Stay a little longer. Selected cabins on our Newcastle–Amsterdam mini cruises are now 50% off, and with Cruise & Stay, you can extend your trip with a hotel reservation through Booking.com. More city. More time. More to talk about on the way home.
Autumn's quieter. Make the most of it. Two nights at sea, your cabin half price, and Amsterdam on the horizon. No luggage limits, no rushing. Just the open water, good food, live music, and Duty Free finds before you've even arrived.
Because the best city breaks don't start at the hotel. They start the moment you step on board. Book between 4 August – 8 October for travel between 5 August – 30 November 2026.
