Ferry Newcastle to Amsterdam costs
DFDS advertises a starting price of €56 per person for a single journey by car. With an ideal booking, in the low season, which you then calculate back to ‘per person', this is possible. In reality however, you will notice that this is not a very realistic price. A single trip is usually much more expensive and for a return trip with a family of 4 people with a car, you will quickly pay a total of around €700. For this you will get two nights on board and you no longer have to rent/book at location.
Generally, the earlier you book, the cheaper it is. In addition, there are sometimes offers that you can take advantage of.
