DFDS Seaways' UK Managing Director, John Crummie, said, "We organised a charity cruise last year to celebrate our 140th anniversary, and it proved so popular that we have decided to repeat it this year".

John further said, "The charity cruise breaks are an excellent way for people to give much needed donations to some very worthwhile causes, whilst enjoying a relaxing trip to Amsterdam. We have worked with Children North East for many years but it's also good to help children on an international scale through UNICEF".
