Where we sail in Belgium

Sail in style on one of our Dutch & Belgian Waterways cruises to Belgium. The cities of Antwerp and Ghent are the key stops – our Dutch Delta Discovery cruise includes a visit to both destinations.Belgium river cruises deal in art, history, food and photo stops – so there’s lots to suit all kinds of interests.

Diamond districts and townhouses

Upmarket Antwerp’s pinned to the banks of the Scheldt River and mixes a glitzy diamond district with a Medieval city centre. There’s lots by way of shopping – it’s particularly popular with fashionistas and art enthusiasts. Ghent, meanwhile, comes up trumps on the looks front, thanks to its colourful canal-side townhouses and riverbank walking trails. There’s lots to see here, from a 12th-century castle to an 11th-century cathedral. Then there’s Belgium’s food. Don’t miss the chance to try moules-frites – mussels and chips – as well as sweet waffles or even fresh rabbit stew.

Port of call in Belgium

Liege

Liege is Belgium’s fifth-largest city, and a bit of an under-the-radar gem on the country’s tourism scene. The most famous sight here is Montagne de Beuren – a flight of 374 steps leading up to one of the city’s best viewpoints. If you don’t fancy giving your thighs a workout, you can admire it from the bottom, then head off to check out the rest of Liege’s must-sees, instead.
