Two night mini cruise
As the transfer from the port to the city centre only takes 20 minutes, you’ll have plenty of time to explore everything Newcastle has to offer in the 5 hours that you’ll spend there. It’ll also give you the chance to savour the city’s grand architecture or even to cross the famous Tyne Bridge or Millennium Bridge, among the city’s most recognisable sights.
Discover our MiniCruise holidays
Our popular MiniCruise packages offer the perfect short break or city break to Newcastle! A MiniCruise includes two nights on board one of our modern cruise ferries and a flexible stay at the destination. There are different packages to choose from, for example with an extra night in Newcastle, a football trip or a ticket to visit a local attraction. You can also go for a special package on board, such as included delicious meals or fun seasonal events.
During the MiniCruise you can take advantage of all the comforts and facilities on board, including a selection of restaurants and eateries, bars, live entertainment and a cinema.

City Break to Newcastle
If you’re craving a short break, a mini cruise to Amsterdam is perfect.
If the sun is shining you can spend the afternoon in one of the city’s parks, browse the world’s only floating flower market or if you’re looking to soak up some culture, why not visit one of the many famous museums in the city? With pre-booking and social distancing measures in place, you can browse some world-famous museums without the normal crowds you would expect. You won’t want to leave before sampling some delicious Dutch pancakes too!
We recommend you book in advance any museum visits or canal cruises and check the guidelines of the venue before visiting.
