Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Bruges (Zeebrugge): Bruges is a compact medieval city tied together by canals. The Belfry and Markt set the scene, with the Begijnhof as a quieter stop. Boat tours sketch the historic core in minutes. It’s made for walking and small pauses.
- Rotterdam: Rotterdam shows off striking architecture on a broad river. See the Cube Houses and Markthal, then take a waterbus or walk the Erasmus Bridge. Simple tram links connect the Kunsthal and Maritime Museum. Modern, well signed, and easy to cover.
- Cherbourg: Cherbourg mixes a naval past with a busy harbourfront. Cité de la Mer combines an aquarium and a submarine museum. Markets and cafés lie close to the quays. It’s compact and straightforward.
