Itinerary

  • Zeebrugge, Belgium... dock here for travel inland to Bruges, which sits around 15 minutes' drive from the port. A taxi costs around £20 per person. This picture-perfect Medieval city is often referred to as The Venice of the North. Wander cobbled streets and winding canals and take in quaint buildings along the river. Sample one of 300 Belgian beers in the popular ’t Brugs Beertje pub.
  • Rotterdam, Netherlands... you could check out Dutch masterpieces in the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen. Admire the waterways, and perhaps take a scenic cruise. Amsterdam sits under an hour away by train (costs around £15 per person)—perfect for a day trip.
  • Cherbourg, France... head to the old town for traditional crêperies and regional cuisine. Delve into fascinating military history with a visit to the nearby D-Day Landing Beaches. They can be reached within 30 minutes by taxi (costing around £50 per person).
