Newcastle Ferry Port Overview
Newcastle Ferry Port is located
approximately 8 miles east of Newcastle City
Centre on the north bank of the River Tyne,
north east England. DFDS Seaways operates
routes from Newcastle Ferry Port's Royal
Quays Dock to Amsterdam, Bergen, Haugesund
and Stavanger.
The city was founded by the Romans. They
built the first bridge over the River Tyne
and named it Pons Aelius. In the 19th
century Newcastle became the forefront of
the industrial innovation. Nowadays it is
the the forefront of technical innovation,
leisure and culture.
Wander down to the transformed waterfront,
the Quayside, now lined with stylish hotels,
designer bars, restaurants and public art.
The Gateshead Millennium Bridge, a work of
art in itself, arches across the Tyne to
link the City to Gateshead Quays and the
Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art.
