Cruising the delights of the Flemish Waterways
 Situated
just inland from Belgium’s delightful coastline and
only an hour’s drive from Calais, Nieuwpoort
is in an oasis in the Polder landscape, an area of beautiful
countryside that has inspired the works of countless artists
over the centuries.
Whether cruising for one or two weeks, the network of canals
and rivers that surrounds Nieuwpoort gives you an unrivalled
choice of cruising routes that will all carry you gently through
the historic towns of Belgium and past sweeping landscapes
and rich, natural areas of outstanding beauty.
 Stay
awhile in beautiful Bruges, with its museums,
fine art collections and meandering canals and humpbacked
bridges. Wander the cobbled streets of gabled houses and browse
the windows of its superb shopping centre. Stylish Ghent,
once the capital of Flanders, is a wonderful place to visit
with its many churches and medieval castles and many internationally
renown restaurants. Venture further inland to Ypres
to visit the museums and memorials to the First World War.
Wherever you choose to cruise, you will enjoy this warm-hearted,
generous country that keeps alive its poetic charm of graceful
living amid beautiful countryside and old towns.
Please note: In April and October all locks and bridges are closed on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
