The Netherlands is a cyclist's paradise, and if you want to ride your own bike there you can take it on board the Newcastle to Amsterdam ferry.
Famously flat and cycle-friendly, the Netherlands is the perfect place to get out and about on a bike. From DFDS' port in IJmuiden, it takes around two hours to cycle to Amsterdam's centre, three hours to the Hague and four to Rotterdam.
DFDS has plotted out cycle routes too, including a two-day jaunt that takes in Haarlem, Amsterdam and Alkmaar before returning back to the port.
