  • With DFDS offering a 50% saving on their minicruises , it was the perfect time for a trip over to Newcastle on the 1987 built King Seaways. The vessel is still in perfect condition despite her 37 years at sea. The weather for this trip was a strong northwesterly wind, Force 7-9 with a moderate to rough sea state. We left a bit late from IJmuiden due to the weather but arrived on time in Newcastle. I can highly recommend this mini cruise, especially when it's on offer.. the crew and food are amazing and both vessels were only recently refurbished with new cabins.

    Crossed the North sea 4 times Newcastle to Bergen in winter all in gale force winds two of the crossings force 9. When the crew board up the passenger windows to the lounge and string ropes so you cannot go forward nor aft, then you hear the propellers vibrating!!! You know you are in a storm. It was reduced speed and a two hour late arrival. An experience while i slept.

      Dont worry she can handle it, she has been sailing on Kristiansand - newcastle and THAT could be a ruff ride!
      And furthermore shes a Danish lady, and they are proper build!

      @@ferriesinfocus A Scottish woman you tuber did this exact crossing- she was seasick, and the sounds of others vomiting could be heard through her cabin walls...It made me feel ill just listening! 🤢
      I love the fact you haven't put music over this- just the sound of the waves and the sea.

    Great video. 👍Do you know whether it is usual to have tug assistance when departing from Ijmuiden or was this due to the high wind?
