The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Glide along Bruges' mirror-still canals then wander its cobbled medieval lanes with a licensed private guide — the definitive bucket-list way to experience the 'Venice of the North' at your own unhurried pace.
Climb 366 steps inside Bruges' 13th-century UNESCO-listed Belfry for a panoramic rooftop reveal of red-tiled rooftops, canals, and green Flemish countryside stretching to the horizon — a singular, unmissable sight.
Sail into the open North Sea and weave among Belgium's colossal offshore wind turbines — towering 200m giants rising from the waves — on an unforgettable sea voyage unlike anything else on the European coast.
Dive into Belgium's most iconic culinary obsessions with a hands-on workshop led by a Bruges chocolatier — tempering couverture, crafting pralines, and rolling fresh liège waffles in a private atelier setting.
Unlock the spiritual and artistic soul of Bruges with a private historian-guide, from the serene 13th-century Begijnhof to Michelangelo's breathtaking Madonna — one of only two Michelangelo sculptures outside Italy.
Venture beyond Bruges to Ghent — Belgium's most underrated medieval city — with a private expert guide along the glittering Graslei guild-house quay, St Bavo's Cathedral, and the city's thriving artisan food scene.
