Your time onboard the ferry to Holland

Couple in the Columbus Club

As soon as you step onboard you can go straight to your cabin but with all our cruise ferries have to offer you won't be there for long. Before sitting down to dinner you could treat yourself to some retail therapy - everything from clothes, perfumes and jewellery to wines, spirits and tobacco. There's even a variety of toys and games for children.

Relax with a drink

We have a number of bars on board our ferries to Amsterdam, each offering something a little different. Enjoy the intimate atmosphere of the Navigator's or Compass Bar. But if you desire something with a little more sparkle the Columbus Club with its mix of live music and entertainment is certain to please.

Entertainment all night

We pride ourselves on the quality and range of our dishes, all prepared fresh on board by our experienced chefs.
