Belgium cruise: how to choose the right one

A cruise through Belgium follows the water past major ports, Flemish canals, art-filled cities, and the gentler scenery of the Meuse. You might sail up the Scheldt to Antwerp, explore Ghent and Bruges among wharves, belfries, and brick facades, then discover a different atmosphere in Brussels, Namur, or Liège.

What sets the destination apart is how much it packs into a small area: Flemish heritage, urban culture, beer, chocolate, museums, markets, and walks along the canals.

This is more of a cultural cruise than a beach vacation, ideal for travelers who enjoy walkable ports of call and the welcoming, intimate feel of Northern Europe.

Tips for choosing your cruise in Belgium

1. Choose your region

Antwerp, the Scheldt & coastal Flanders : An excellent region for combining a major port, historic sites, museums, Flemish architecture, and a scenic river arrival, with Antwerp as the main urban port of call.
Bruges, Ghent & Flemish canals : The quintessential choice for a cultural cruise, with medieval cities, waterfronts, belfries, historic houses, chocolate, beer, and walks along the water.
Brussels & Brabant : A more urban port of call with a political dimension, featuring the Grand Place, Art Nouveau neighborhoods, museums, fine food, and river connections to Antwerp or the Netherlands.
Belgian Meuse & Wallonia : A gentler, more scenic option around Namur, Dinant, and Liège, with cliffs, citadels, villages, abbeys, and rolling hills.

2. Choose your cruise style

Cultural river cruises : CroisiEurope, Nicko Cruises or Luftner Cruises are well suited to exploring Belgium by river and canal, with itineraries that often combine Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges, the Netherlands, or the Rhine.
Comfortable & international river cruises : AMA Waterways or Celebrity River Cruises may appeal to travelers seeking greater comfort, refined dining, well-organized excursions, and a more upscale way to experience the cities of Northern Europe.
Ocean cruises via Zeebrugge : MSC Cruises, Costa Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises or Cunard may include Zeebrugge on Northern Europe itineraries, with shore excursions to Bruges, Ghent, or Brussels.
More refined, escorted journeys : Rivages du Monde, Voyages d'Exception, Ponant, Silversea or Seabourn Cruise Line may suit more cultural or upscale programs, with higher standards of comfort, service, dining, and guidance.

An excellent compromise for cultural cruises. The colors grow warmer, crowds often thin out, and the cities remain lively.

Expert advice

Ideal for Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Brussels and the Meuse if you want a quieter atmosphere without losing the comfort of walking tours.

Must-see highlights of a cruise in Belgium

Sail into Antwerp on the Scheldt before heading to Grote Markt

Antwerp stands out because the city reveals itself so clearly from the water. Sailing in on the Scheldt, seeing the harbor, and then walking to Grote Markt, the cathedral, and the narrow streets of the center make for a full yet easygoing port call.

Travel from Bruges to Ghent along the Flemish canals

Bruges and Ghent are often the most popular pairing on a Belgian cruise. Travelers love the canals, waterfronts, belfries, and chocolate shops, as well as the contrast between heritage-rich Bruges and the livelier, more local feel of Ghent.

Experience Brussels through its squares, galleries, and flavors

Brussels is best enjoyed at an easy pace: the Grand Place, the Royal Saint-Hubert Galleries, a stop for chocolate or a waffle, and a few Art Nouveau facades. Travelers remember its appealing combination of European-capital energy, a celebrated food scene, and remarkably accessible heritage.

Hidden gems off the beaten path

Stay in Ghent into the evening as the quays empty out

Ghent is a favorite among travelers looking for an alternative that feels less preserved in time than Bruges. Late in the day, the Graslei and Korenlei quays, lights on the water, cafés, and narrow streets create a distinctly Belgian atmosphere that feels more local and lively.

Head up to the MAS in Antwerp for a view of the port city

The MAS offers a different perspective on Antwerp than the historic center alone. From its terraces, travelers can see the Scheldt, the docks, newer neighborhoods, and the sheer scale of the harbor, adding real depth to the port call.

Try a Liège waffle after visiting the citadel in Namur or Dinant

On itineraries through Wallonia, small food stops are an important part of the experience. A Liège waffle, a local beer, or a café terrace beside the Meuse offers a simpler glimpse of everyday Belgium beyond its Flemish cities.

The beauty of Belgium

Famous for its beer and lively nightlife, Brussels is not only the capital of Belgium, but also of Flanders and Europe. It is characterized by 17th-century buildings such as the Atomium, which was reopened in 2006, and by the Eiffel Tower of Brussels, which offers a breathtaking view both inside and out. The Horta Museum, built by the famous Belgian architect Victor Horta, as well as the Sewer Museum, Musical Instruments Museum, Tram Museum, Comic Strip Museum, Magritte Museum and Gueuze Museum also await lovers of architecture and culture. Brussels is a seductive image of Belgium: surrealistic, friendly and liberating, like the Grand-Place, one of the most beautiful in the world.

The famous city of Bruges, meanwhile, is regarded by tourists as Little Venice, due to the structure of its buildings and canals. Built around the 12th century, the Basilica of the Holy Blood makes Bruges unique with its relic of the blood of Jesus Christ. The Cathedral of Saint-Sauveur is appreciated for its historic works and impressive Gothic buildings. Loppem Castle also opens up to you in a world worthy of a Disney film.

Set in a welcoming region where art and design coexist, Antwerp is a place steeped in history, with its Platin-Moretus museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its classic typography museum. The Museum aan de Stroom, housed in one of Antwerp's most beautiful buildings, is the city's largest museum. In addition to its secret Beguinage garden, Antwerp also boasts a historic zoo, known as one of the world's oldest, located near the Antwerp-Centrale station.

In Belgium, nature also has everything to please. Culminating at an altitude of 694 metres, the Signal de botrange is particularly noteworthy for its panoramic views. Made up of the Eupeun, Gileppe and Bûtgentbach lakes, 3 of the 5 largest bodies of water in the country, the Belgian landscape is decorated by dense purple bower. The Eastern Cantons, 100 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide, are distinguished by their varied landscapes. Covering an area of 4,500 hectares, the high fens synchronize with the birch forest to form a nature reserve that is unique in Europe. Since its creation in 1971, the Haut Fagnes-Eifel Nature Park has played an important role in the country's economy, thanks to the millions of visitors who discover it all year round.

When to visit Belgium?

Belgium has a mild, humid climate. Summer temperatures are similar to those in northern France, in the 18°C range, with frequent rainfall. Apart from the omnipresent sunshine, this is the season to discover abbeys, stroll through picturesque villages and soak up the country's history. Winter is a time of rain, snow and frost. The ideal time to visit Brussels is spring, when the Japanese cherry trees are in full bloom.

Belgium is renowned for its incomparable gastronomy, which combines simplicity in the dishes with originality in the way they are cooked. Waterzooi - a typically Belgian fish and chicken broth - and tarte à l'djote - a savoury pie made from dumplings and cheese - are two of the most popular dishes on the menu. Belgium's main claim to fame is its beer. Not only is Belgium's hop country fertile ground for Trappist beers, but every town and village has its own brewery.
