New Year, New Savings on Sailings to Amsterdam

DFDS

Ferry operator DFDS, has launched an Early Booking Offer, making forward-planning more affordable for passengers travelling between the UK and Holland this year.

Passengers can save 15% on select crossings between Newcastle and Amsterdam, while also enjoying the benefits of a 15% deposit scheme, meaning they can book now and spread the cost of their 2019 break1.

Crossings are available from just £39pp each way, based on 4 sharing, and £69pp each way, based on 2 sharing. The offer is valid on bookings made until 28 February 20192, for select departures between 1st May – 23rd December 2019

There's no need for passengers to wait until they reach Amsterdam to start enjoying their break. DFDS keeps passengers entertained from the moment they set sail with a variety of on-board facilities including a shop, casino and cinema screens as well as kids' club for the children and live entertainment and bars for the adults.

What's more, additional savings can be made on the ships' restaurants – the Explorers Kitchen, which serves up unlimited International cuisine; and the North Sea Bistro, offering a fine dining experience. By pre-booking their meals passengers can expect to save up to 34% vs paying once on-board.
