Mini Cruise to Amsterdam for Halloween 2013 

Exploring Amsterdam

Couples

There are many things for couples to enjoy in Amsterdam, from a relaxing canal cruise together to just enjoying a stroll through the quaint city streets or through Vondelpark. There are plenty of places to relax together, either in the traditional ‘brown cafés’ or in a chic bar or restaurant. Do some shopping together in the Negen Straatjes (Nine Streets) area, or visit the Van Gogh Musuem * to appreciate some fine art.

Families

Amsterdam is a great day out for families and there are plenty of child-friendly attractions such as the Amsterdam Zoo or Science Centre NEMO. If it’s bad weather then head for TunFun, a huge underground play zone, whilst kids will love exploring Vondelpark if it’s fine. You can also enjoy a family trip along the famous Amsterdam canals, or see Anne Frank’s House where children will easily relate to her story.

Friends

Enjoy a trip to the Heineken Experience or the House of Bols to sample the finest tipples Amsterdam has to offer, or visit the Xtracold Icebar for a unique experience where the entire bar is forged in ice. Leidseplein is a good place to enjoy a meal and a drink, with its mix of locals and tourists plus street entertainers and buskers in a vibrant atmosphere. If you feel like carrying on the scary theme, then visit the Amsterdam Dungeons where the city’s dark past comes terrifyingly alive!

Onboard facilities

The party starts as soon as you join us on board, with a range of leisure facilities along with the spooky Halloween party to keep you in the party spirit throughout your time with us.

Hungry?

We have a selection of restaurants to choose from, so no matter what you’re in the mood for you’ll never go hungry. The 7 Seas Restaurant is our most popular, with over 80 dishes from all around the world in an all-you-can-eat buffet. You can indulge in a tasty steak at the Explorer's Steakhouse or enjoy a la carte dining at the Blue Riband for a touch of luxury on your short break. We also have cafes available for those with smaller appetites.

Thirsty?

The Columbus Club is home to our Halloween party on the outward journey, and to live music and entertainment during your journey home. It’s the place to enjoy a fun and friendly atmosphere with friends, but if you’d prefer a more relaxing ambience then you can unwind in the Navigator’s or Compass Bars. Each bar serves a variety of wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks.

Entertainment

Along with the fun of the Halloween party, there are lots of other things to do on our ferries. Enjoy a spot of retail therapy in our sea shops, with great discounts on fashion, fragrance, alcohol and tobacco brands as well as toys and confectionery. There’s a Kidz’ Club for little monsters to enjoy toys, games and cartoons, whilst adults can try their luck in our onboard casino.
