PRINCESS SEAWAYS in 20 Years

Tags:

Over the last 20 years, there have been a number of ships sailing on our route from Newcastle to Amsterdam. Currently, one of the ships servicing this route is PRINCESS SEAWAYS and has been since the ships were sold to DFDS in 2006.

Since 2006, PRINCESS SEAWAYS has sailed between Newcastle and IJmuiden on a daily basis, and has been the setting for countless family holidays, couples getaways, breaks with friends, school trips and more.

Did you know that PRINCESS SEAWAYS is a Peter Pan class cruise ferry?

Following its renovation in 2006, PRINCESS SEAWAYS is now well-stocked with a range of facilities including four restaurants, a number of bars, lounges and a club, a shop, a casino, children’s play area and even a cinema!
