Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Bruges (Zeebrugge): Medieval rooftops, carillons and canals at walking pace. Arrive early for quiet lanes around the Begijnhof, then browse the Groeningemuseum for Flemish masters. A short canal boat loop offers another angle on the gables. Chocolate shops and small cafés make it easy to dawdle without wasting time.
- Cherbourg: A harbour city with a proud maritime streak. Cité de la Mer fills a former terminal with an aquarium and submarine; the Art Deco theatre and covered market add local colour. Walk the Napoleon-era fortifications for sea views if the weather’s clear. Suitable for a focused half-day with room for a long lunch.
