Chocolates & Lace: Mini Cruise to Medieval Bruges

2 nights from £169pp departing Saturday 1st May 2027

It’s easy to forget about Belgium, yet it’s a fascinating country that will create lifelong memories. The canals of Amsterdam may be more famous, yet the waterways of Bruges have a charm all their own. Add in some stunning gothic architecture, centred around breathtaking Burg Square, and it’s little wonder that Bruges is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Whilst you’re here, don’t forget to sample its legendary chocolate and beer, which are among the finest in the world.

In 1895 work began to construct a new seaport and harbour next to the tiny village of Zeebrugge, situated on the North Sea coast.

Please note that no food may be taken ashore in Belgium. We shall not be offering shuttle buses to Bruges, but you may visit the city on an optional excursion: those visiting Bruges should note that there may be quite a long walk from the coach to the town centre.
