Bruge and Brussels Cruises via Zeebrugge
Start planning your cruise and book your excursions to the surroundings of Zeebrugge
Located on the Belgian coast, Zeebrugge is the modern port and coastal district of Bruges. This MSC Northern Europe Cruises destination is renowned for its beautifully preserved medieval centre, winding streets, and picturesque canals lined with impressive historic buildings.
MSC Cruises excursions offer plenty of exciting things to see including:
• Magnificent Bruges and its canals
• Belgian treats
• Brussels, Belgium's capital
The city of Bruges, capital of the province of West Flanders, is a remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Site.
On an MSC Cruises excursion, you’ll discover countless medieval landmarks, ancient dwellings, and picturesque bridges. Explore the charming Market Square with its iconic guild houses and the Baroque-style Provost’s House, built in the 17th century. Visit the Medieval Town Hall and the extraordinary Oude Griffie before enjoying some free time to explore the city at your leisure.
Although Bruges is every bit a thriving modern European city, its historical beauty is such that visitors could be forgiven for thinking they have stepped into a living medieval museum. See it for yourself on this MSC Cruises excursion, which allows you to explore the city independently and at your own pace. Keep your camera close at hand and head for the iconic medieval Belfry, sample Belgian specialties such as waffles, chocolate, world-famous beers, and traditional Belgian fries, or shop for exquisite local lace and tapestries. Finally, return to the coach after a wonderfully indulgent day and perhaps share your experiences with fellow passengers on the journey back to Zeebrugge and your ship.
Brussels, the dazzling capital of Belgium, is an unmissable MSC Cruises excursion. Here, you’ll admire beautiful parks, elegant squares, and a wealth of Gothic, Baroque, and Art Nouveau architecture. Countless landmarks await, including the Atomium, the Chinese Pavilion, the Royal Castle of Laeken, and the vibrant Rue des Bouchers with its cafés and restaurants. Don’t miss Manneken Pis, the famous statue of a little boy and one of Brussels’ most iconic symbols.scot.
