Ports of Call
Cruise from Portsmouth
- Bruges (Zeebrugge): Canals, cobbles and quiet courtyards. Climb the Belfry, see the Basilica of the Holy Blood, and linger near the Markt. Best enjoyed at an easy pace.
- Antwerp: Diamonds, Rubens and a grand station. Visit the cathedral and riverside MAS museum, then try a brown café. The old town rewards a wander.
- Ijmuiden (tours to Amsterdam): Straightforward access to canals and galleries. Take a canal cruise, see the Rijksmuseum or Van Gogh Museum, and stroll through Jordaan. Transfers are simple and quick.
- Honfleur: Half-timbered houses around the Vieux Bassin. Step into Sainte-Catherine church and browse the small galleries—a harbour walk pairs nicely with a café stop.
