About
About Amsterdam
This is the Dutch end of DFDS's Newcastle crossing, sailing from IJmuiden on the North Sea canal rather than from Amsterdam's own harbour — two departures at 17:00, arriving in England after nearly seventeen hours at sea. A coach connects the terminal to Amsterdam Centraal, which is a detail worth knowing before booking, since the terminal is some twenty-five kilometres from the city. The overnight schedule means cabin accommodation rather than seats, and the route is the only direct passenger link between the Netherlands and north-east England. IJmuiden sits at the North Sea end of the canal, and the sailing passes the lock complex there — among the largest sea locks in the world.
