Your cruise at a glance

Hand-crafted highlights

Immerse yourself in the magic of Christmas markets on this festive cruise from Liverpool. We've timed this sailing to give you the chance to visit the Christmas Markets of Bruges or Ghent, accessible via Zeebrugge. Stroll amongst charming wooden huts offering unique handicrafts and traditional treats like spiced biscuits, waffles, hot chocolate and beer, or lace up your skates and glide across the ice at one of the markets' enchanting rinks for a quintessential festive pastime. Elsewhere, cities in France and the Netherlands come alive with twinkling light displays. In Rotterdam, you'll find the famous yellow cube houses and impressive Markthal, while Honfleur's treasures, including the Eugène Boudin Museum and the Vieux Bassin (Old Harbour), showcase the town's artistic and architectural heritage.
