Reasons to visit

Without a doubt, Bruges is one of Europe’s loveliest cities, and one of Belgium’s most famous cruise ports. It’s often referred to as the ‘Venice of the North’ – the picturesque canal network is reminiscent of its Italian cousin. The romantic boat rides here are the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion.

On a mini cruise to Belgium are the perfect opportunity to enjoy the gastronomical delights on offer. Chocolate and beer are a guilty pleasure for many people, but they come together as two of the country’s biggest exports so there’s no need to feel bad about a little indulgence.

Belgium is an outstanding example of medieval settlements and historical landmarks, and many of its shops, restaurants, bars and hotels are found behind beautiful historic facades. Take a walk through the picturesque cities taking in all the sites and sample the velvety chocolate and local beers that the country is famous for.
