Belgium

Wherever you cruise in Belgium, you can be sure of a warm welcome. Famous for its handmade chocolates, delicious beers, delicate lace and the cartoon character Tin Tin, Belgium also offers peaceful countryside and ancient towns and cities that are inextricably linked by the country’s rich cultural and historic past.

Visit the Bruges Cruising Companion.

From the fairytale facades of Ghent, Belgium’s ancient Flemish capital, to the meandering canals and hump-backed bridges of Bruges - the ‘Venice of the North,’ you will find plenty to see and do on your travels. The network of pretty canals and rivers and close proximity of places to visit means you can tailor your cruise to take in as much or as little as you want. Visit the World War memorials at Ypres, spend time at sandy beaches and nature reserves and visit museums, monuments and markets on your travels around this small country with a big heart.
