Holidays Afloat in Belgium
Just inland of Belgium’s delightful coastline, cruise
the peaceful countryside and historic towns connected by the
Flemish waterways and enjoy the poetic charm of this warm-hearted
country. Our boat base in Nieuwpoort is ideally placed to
take advantage of Western Flanders. The coast stretches away
in fine sandy beaches backed by dunes.
 Moor
up at Bruges, the Venice of the North, and explore this magnificent
medieval town.
Cruise the romantic canals, walk the cobbled streets of gabled
houses and tiny lace and chocolate shops.
 See
Veurne's Grand-Place, its Town Hall, covered markets and belfry
and tour Ghent, Belgium's ancient Flemish capital. Ypres with
its historical connotations is another town that must be visited.
 Belgium
is famous, above all, for two fine things – handmade
chocolates and an astonishing range of beers from the dark,
strong and pure Trappist abbey breweries. Wherever you go
there is an excellent range of superb food shops –pâtisseries,
charcuteries, poissonneries and bakeries.
 This
is not the traditional boating holiday in a truly rural setting
on a spectacular waterway, but ideal for those who love being
on a boat and also want to visit some remarkable places.
Please note: In April and October all locks and bridges are closed on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
You can also visit Belgium from our Penichette
base in the Ardennes region of France.
