Combine Antwerp's golden-age grandeur with a private journey to Bruges — Belgium's most enchanting medieval city — and seal it with a hands-on tasting at a master chocolatier. This is the definitive Belgian day, done in luxury.
What to expect
Depart the Antwerp cruise terminal in a private vehicle, pausing at the Grote Markt and the cathedral before the scenic drive to Bruges. Walk the cobbled lanes of Bruges with your guide, gliding along the Rozenhoedkaai canal before settling into a private chocolate tasting session with a local maître chocolatier who explains single-origin cacao, tempering, and Belgian tradition. You leave with a bespoke box of handmade pralines and an education no supermarket could provide.
Good to know
Full-day excursion (approx. 7–8 hours). Pre-book the chocolate tasting component separately to guarantee your slot — artisan ateliers have limited capacity. Bruges is 1.5 hours from Antwerp; factor this into all-aboard timing. Wear comfortable walking shoes for Bruges's cobblestones.
