The Ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam can be done as a 'Mini Cruise', but is it worth the long trip?

DFDS let you do a discounted return to Amsterdam which gives you around 4 hours in the Dutch capital, but is it worth the long crossing there and back? Join me on this very trip where I'll show you everything from the transfers to the ship to the experience onboard. Let's go (ferry) cruising across the North Sea! Enjoy the video.

What I really like about your videos Steve is the fact that you and the videos are so normal. It gives the average person the opportunity to see what they could do and then go and do it themselves. So many vloggers lose sight of their audience and start going first class etc. Keep, keeping it real 👍🏻

UK has some of the most CCTV cameras per capita on the planet yet you aren't allowed to film? Funny how that goes.

@DurhamGooner

Anyone else find Steve's videos comforting? Hard to describe!

"but whenever I see tablecloths I get a wee bit nervous at how much the bill would be" hahaha f*ck I know exactly what you mean soul brother....

Hello Steve, I am a Dutch citizen and discovered your trips to your destinations. Keep up this good work! The free ferries you pointed out near Amsterdam station are not crossing a river but the Noordzeekanaal. This is a canal digged out from Amsterdam to IJmuiden (you pronounced it very good!). This canal connects our former Zuiderzee to the Noordzee. The Zuiderzee is nowadays called the IJsselmeer because we made some land out of the water with our latest provence Flevoland. Hope you go on with your trips! 😀

Lucky man with the weather. I have been on that ferry when dozens of people have been sea sick before we left the tyne, I’m not joking.

These videos are an abject lesson in how to deliver high standard, professional content. There are very few broadcast networks that could compose a video to this level.

I really enjoy your videos as i am crippled from a stroke, so all my travelling happens from my couch, I adore Scotland where my ancestors came from [I am born and bred New Zealand],and I love seeing the diverse countries accessable from your home. I wish you could spend more than a few hours in each place,I suppose its too expensive to stay longer and you must have other committments.Thank you for my vicarious life,I am grateful for your videos.

Great video Steve, as always. The port staff at Newcastle need to be sent down to Southampton cruise terminals for customer service training. The staff there are incredible! Please do write to the port's senior management about the rudeness you encountered. They may not be aware of it and it needs to be sorted.

Hi Steve As a wagon driver, one of two of us who handled all of DFDS's part load Denmark freight when this service used to run to Bergen, Norway (using the same ferry you were aboard, then named King of Scandinavia) I used those ships weekly and completely concur with everything you noted about both Port of Tyne and DFDS staff, and the onboard facilities.

This "no filming" business is crazy; anyone with a phone can film anything anyway without being detected. Put a coloured jacket or a badge on someone and they can't control themselves with all that "power" ... and for what !

@kenwynn3871

Fab video, I moved to Amsterdam from the North East 6 years ago and I use this service regularly to visit family back home as it makes it feel like more of a little holiday compared to the 40 minute flight and airport stress

@marinusdejager2361

It's such a pleasure watching your movies! I am getting hooked! In this movie you played the Dutch Anthem: Wilhelmus van Nassau, on arrival of IJmuiden. It touched me, since I am from the Netherlands, but now live in Ontario Canada. Thanks again.

The Dutch National Anthem when entering Ijmuiden was a nice touch Steve. Thanks for the interesting trip.

We did the mini cruise last year, we upgraded to the outer cabin to get a window view and ate at both restaurants. It was a fantastic trip, really well organised and they had it down to a fine art. The food was excellent. We were also very lucky that we had a cabin just along from the main door, so we were able to get off first just by chance! I can honestly say the bed was so comfy and, with the aid of the gentle rocking of the ship, it was a fantastic nights sleep!

Seeing North Shields port gave me an involuntary shudder! Back in 1995 I did a return ferry with Color Line from North Shields to Norway (out to Stavanger, back from Bergen). The return journey was so rough I never made it down to my cabin all night as needed to be on deck for 🤢 reasons about every 10 minutes. Longest night of my life, the horizon would disappear with the swell & it was like a 20 odd hour rollercoaster. Never been so pleased to see the port of North Shields 😁
