Summer Day Sailing from Newcastle – July & August 2013 

Make the most of summer with a unique cruise with DFDS Seaways. Cruise the North East coast and experience the beauty of the area from a unique perspective along with a buffet lunch and entertainment from as little as £30pp.  

What's Included:

• Relaxing cruise along the coastline

• See beautiful scenery and local landmarks

• Buffet lunch

• Live entertainment

• Presentation and wildlife spotting with ORCA (please note this will not be available on the 11th August)

• Free parking

• A great day trip for all ages

Throughout the summer, we will take you on a voyage of discovery along the stunning coastline from our port on the Tyne. You’ll be able to take in the sweeping beaches and well-known landmarks en route, as well as being thoroughly entertained.

We have a range of onboard entertainment for adults and children alike, along with a presentation and the chance to spot wildlife at sea with ORCA, before tucking into a delicious buffet lunch.

Sailing along the River Tyne, you’ll head north from North Shields and sail past Tynemouth, Whitley Bay, Cullercoats and Seaton Sluice before reaching Blyth, where you can see the famous wind farm up close*.

Our bars will remain open throughout the journey so you can unwind with a drink in the comfort of our lounges, or enjoy observing and learning about the aquatic wildlife with ORCA before heading back to port.

Our Summer Day Sailings are the ideal family day out for the summer holidays, as well as being a great way to enjoy the local area in a way you’d never thought possible. Book your Summer Day Sailing early, as demand is always high!
