The 80s Night cruise will depart from Hull Ferry Port at King George Dock on Saturday, October 11, 2025.
With a great choice of bars and restaurants, shops, and a cinema, the fun starts the minute you step on board.
On the first night, entertainment will kick off with the Breakfast Club – a fantastic 80s covers band taking you back to the era of big hair and even bigger tunes.
Next, the incredible T’Pau will take to the stage to perform their hits before an 80s DJ set keeps the retro sounds going late into the night with dancefloor fillers.
After an overnight crossing, you’ll arrive in Rotterdam – one of Europe’s coolest destinations.
Travel on to Amsterdam with P&O’s free coach transfer, where you’ll be able to cycle the streets of the Netherlands’ capital, float through its canals, or indulge in some gallery-hopping. Marvel at Rembrandt’s masterpiece The Night Watch in the Rijksmuseum, before moving on to the Van Gogh Museum.
