Ferry from Hull

One of the most interesting and relaxed cities in the world, Amsterdam is the ideal location for a mini cruise break with P&O Ferries. Famous for tree lined canals, world class museums, relaxed atmosphere, and of course the red-light district and brown coffee houses, there is something for everyone in Amsterdam.

When you arrive refreshed and relaxed from your mini cruise, there is plenty to see and do in Amsterdam - whether you are a culture vulture, or prefer a more relaxed break. The Van Gogh museum is a must, and the Rijks museum holds works from local artists such as Rembrandt.

There's also the famous Anne Frank house at the canal side, and a range of shops for those who want to flex their plastic.

Eating out is a pleasure with a range of fantastic restaurants to suit every taste, including a fantastic Chinese quarter.

Most people succumb and take a trip on the canals, which provide an excellent way to see the city away from the hustle and bustle of traffic. See some of out suggestions for a day in Amsterdam.
