12 May '26Cruise overview
Short but incredibly sweet, this 3-day mini-cruise shows off tiny Belgium’s oversized charms from medieval streets and romantic canals to world-class museums and mouthwatering chocolates. Board your ship in London right next to HMS Belfast (Tower Bridge), one of the most exclusive cruise ports in the world just across the Thames from the Tower of London. We’ll cross the English Channel to Ostend, the sea port for Bruges, one of Europe’s most charming medieval towns and once the most important trading post of Germany’s powerful Hanseatic League. Every corner you turn you find a new postcard image: centuries-old gabled buildings, romantic canals crossed by graceful stone bridges, historic windmills with wings still spinning. The whole center of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and our late evening departure gives you time to explore. Next, we’ll make our way up the River Scheldt to Antwerp, a small-ship exclusive port where we’ll dock within walking distance of the main squares and shopping. Antwerp is the unofficial capital of Dutch-speaking Flanders. This city has its own share of historic guildhalls and churches, but it’s also replete with modern architecture, museums filled with Flemish masters, and small, cozy beer cafes and chocolateries. Plenty to fill every hour until we head back across the Channel to London.
Itinerary
London Tower Bridge
London is an ancient city whose history greets you at every turn. If the city contained only its famous landmarks—the Tower of London or Big Ben—it would still rank as one of the world’s top cities. But London is so much more. The foundations of London’s character and tradition endure. The British bobby is alive and well. The tall, red, double-decker buses (in an updated model) still lumber from stop to stop. Then there’s that greatest living link with the past—the Royal Family with all its attendant pageantry. To ice the cake, swinging-again London is today one of the coolest cities on the planet. The city’s art, style, and fashion make headlines around the world, and London’s chefs have become superstars.
