Questions and answers

Hi, we have a 10 year old who we would like to take on this trip but it doesn’t give us an option to add on? So is this a possibility to add on the booking through yourselves?

Thank you

08:18, 10/04/19

Hi there,

Thanks for getting in touch!

I can confirm children are permitted and included in the overall headcount in the deal.

Our vouchers are for two or four people only, but you're welcome to contact DFDS directly to discuss the possibility and cost of adding additional children to your booking and they'll be happy to advise.

I hope this helps!

Hi,

Is it possible to stay overnight in Amsterdam between sailings rather than straight home?

Thanks

So we don't actually get a day in Amsterdam as you've advertised?

Jackie, 21:23, 11/04/19

Hi Jackie,

Thanks for getting in touch!

I'm happy to let you know the ferry arrives in Amsterdam at 9.45am, and the coach departs from the port to the city centre at 10.15am, with a journey time of approximately 45 minutes.

The last coach back to the port departs from the city centre at 4pm, giving you up to 5 hours to take in the sights.

I hope this helps!

Could I book this deal and decide to book a hotel for one night in Amsterdam and then use the ferry to get back? So if I left Newcastle on 14th June could I then return from Amsterdam on the 16th?

Amanda, 14:56, 19/05/19

Hi Amanda,

I'm afraid the mini-cruise can't be extended, and the return journey is made the day after departing the UK.

yvonne, 19:56, 21/05/19

Hi Yvonne,

Children over 3 years old will require their own bed, so I'd recommend buying a voucher for a cabin for 4 people if you're planning on going as 2 adults and your nephew.

is it possible to use this but stay over in Amsterdam and come back on the next return crossing rather than on the one you initially board on from Newcastle- ie instead of it being night 1 ferry then day in Amsterdam then back to ferry for night 2, could you stay over in Amsterdam night 2 and come back on the next departing ferry the next day? thanks
