This summer, DFDS Seaways is offering a valid alternative to southbound travel. Whilst the typical ferry destinations may be the Channel Islands, France and Spain, these require a long journey for those living the north of England. Operating out of Newcastle, DFDS Seaways runs frequent crossings to the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Often known for a party atmosphere, Amsterdam also offers plenty of opportunities for an ideal family break.

Taking advantage of this, DFDS Seaways is letting kids go free on its August mini cruises to Amsterdam, amounting to a £150 saving for a family of 4. For this, families have the chance to spend a day in Amsterdam, where a wide variety of events are on the agenda, every day during the summer. On top of this, Amsterdam hosts a number of sights and attractions to take in on a day trip; the wax workings at Madame Tussauds may make for an exciting family excursion.

Much of the entertainment comes on the ferry itself, the King of Scandinavia; holding a capacity of 1500 passengers, with various restaurants, bars and even a casino on board. A day trip to Amsterdam is an appealing family choice this summer, with DFDS Seaways.
