If your most-played on Spotify is Luke Combs and you worship the goddess Shania, this one’s for you. The P&O Ferries Country Mini Cruise sets sail on Saturday 8th March 2025, offering two nights of live entertainment, fancy dress and a whole lot of country fun. Not only that, you get two nights of accommodation and a day trip to Amsterdam included in the ticket price.

Each night, Rattlesnake Johnny and his band of outlaws will take to the decks in the Show Bar, serving up four hours of the best country tunes for a great big barndance. From Dolly and Kenny, to Carrie Underwood and Tim McGraw, all your favourites are here. Organised by Yeehaw events, it’s sure to be a party to remember.

But this is no ordinary hoedown, oh no. This ship’s setting sail for the Netherlands, taking you on a two-night adventure. You’ll get to settle down in your very own cabin, with a standard cabin included in the price of your ticket. Sleeping two to four in bunkbeds, it’s all you need for a restful night’s sleep before your big day in ‘Dam.

There’s plenty to do on board, too. Looking for the saloon? There are no less than five bars on the boat, alongside two restaurants – one dishing up delicious international food buffet-style, the other serving refined a la carte. Throw in two cinemas, a video arcade and three World Duty Free shops and you’ve got yourself a real rodeo!

Giddy up on a day trip to Amsterdam

There’s so much to do on board that you might not want to leave the boat, but remember you’ve got a day trip to enjoy! Your second day starts early, as the ferry arrives at Europoort Rotterdam at 9am. From there, you’ll take an hour-long coach journey to Amsterdam – one of Europe’s most fascinating capital cities.

If the weather’s on your side, stroll through the streets and soak up the sights – be sure to grab a selfie on the iconic Papiermolensluis bridge. Head to Anne Frank’s House for a spot of history, then grab a coffee and a stroopwafel in one of the city’s many cafes. At 5pm, saddle up for your return coach trip and another night of country fun. Yeehaw!
