Fred Olsen calls the Port of Tyne a home port, meaning some of the best itineraries in the Fred Olsen fleet, including Norwegian Fjords cruises and Canary Islands sailings, depart right from Newcastle. Ambassador Cruise Line operates a strong programme from the Tyne too, particularly for longer itineraries popular with solo cruisers and over-50s. P&O and Marella supplement the schedule with Mediterranean and Caribbean sailings, often at competitive prices thanks to lower demand than Southampton.
