Ports of Call
Cruise from London Tilbury
- Bruges (Zeebrugge): Cobblestones, canals and spires best met early. Take a short boat ride for a quieter angle, then duck into the Groeningemuseum for Flemish masters. The Begijnhof’s white calm resets the pace. Lunch goes well with a side street rather than the Markt.
- Amsterdam (Ijmuiden): Canal belts, gables and big-name museums, reached by transfer from the seaport. Book a timed slot for the Rijksmuseum or Van Gogh, then roam the Jordaan’s small streets. A twilight canal cruise shows the bridges lit and the city at ease. Brown cafés make for a slow, local finish.
- Rotterdam: A river city drawn in straight lines and bright ideas. The Depot Boijmans rooftop and the Cube Houses give the quick hits. Markthal keeps food simple and indoors if the weather turns. A water taxi spins a little adventure into the transfer back.
