Your cruise ship arrives at the terminal. One moment you're free and comfortable - the next, you're alone at a busy terminal.
Don't worry - We help you regain that sense of freedom and luxury while on land, with our VIP shore excursions.
From Zeebrugge, the official harbour of Bruges, it's a 30 minute drive to the medieval city. But strewn around the countryside are plenty more gems - or you could go beyond Bruges. With our vetted cruise day trips, we make sure you get the most out of your limited time on the Belgian shore.
This is for you if you;
-
Are on a North Sea cruise or Atlantic cruise that passes through Zeebrugge as port of call
-
Want to have privacy and discretion, rather than a shared tour
-
Like to remain in control of your schedule, rather than be pulled along by a group of strangers
-
Want to spend your time on the shore without having to worry about missing the highlights - or having to plan your return to the ship.
Our VIP excursions from Zeebrugge and Bruges
Depending on your preferences and available timing, we're glad to propose a couple of packages that make for a premium private experience and seamless scheduling. This way you efficiently dive into the culture and history of Belgium, while also having flexibility and certainty you will make it back to the ship in time.
Would you like to have some additional flexibility? If you tell us how we can improve your day schedule, we'd be happy to build a custom day trip that suits your timing, interests and budget.
