Cruise Overview

Lying near the head of Southampton Water, a peninsula between the estuaries of the Rivers Test and Itchen, Southampton is Britain’s largest cruise port.

It has been one of England’s major ports since the Middle Ages, when it exported wool and hides from the hinterland and imported wine from Bordeaux.

The city suffered heavy damage during World War Two and as a result the centre has been extensively rebuilt, but there are still some interesting medieval buildings including the Bargate, one of the finest city gatehouses in England.
Le Havre, founded by King Francis I of France in 1517, is located inUpper Normandy on the north bank of the mouth of the River Seine, which isconsidered the most frequented waterway in the world.

Its port is ranked thesecond largest in France.

The city was originally built on marshland andmudflats that were drained in the 1500’s.

During WWII most of Le Havre wasdestroyed by Allied bombing raids.

Post war rebuilding of the city followed thedevelopment plans of the well-known Belgian architect Auguste Perre.

Thereconstruction was so unique that the entire city was listed as a UNESCO WorldHeritage Site in 2005. 
In 1895 work began to construct a new seaport and harbour next to the tiny village of Zeebrugge, situated on the North Sea coast.

Today the fast-expanding port of Zeebrugge is one of the busiest in Europe and its marina is Belgium’s most important fishing port.

Many attempts were made to destroy this important port during both World Wars.

Zeebrugge is ideally located for discovering the historic city of Bruges, and delightful seaside resorts with long sandy beaches can be visited by using the trams that run the whole length of the Belgian coast.

Please note that no food may be taken ashore in Belgium.

We shall not be offering shuttle buses to Bruges, but you may visit the city on an optional excursion: those visiting Bruges should note that there may be quite a long walk from the coach to the town centre.
