Chocolates, Polders and Canals

Discover Belgium the relaxed way by bike & boat

Experience Belgium by bike and boat – a country where history and indulgence are part of everyday life. Between Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels, the heart of Flanders unfolds: medieval towns with ornate gabled houses, narrow canals and vibrant cultural life. Cycling through flat, green landscapes, you are accompanied by windmills, waterways and the gentle ringing of church bells in village towers.

Belgium may be small, but it is full of character – charming, welcoming and pleasure-loving. In Bruges, you taste the sweet side of life with chocolates, waffles and Flemish beer; in Ghent, modern creativity meets centuries-old architecture. Antwerp shines with diamonds, fashion and art, while Brussels surprises with cosmopolitan flair, Art Nouveau façades and a refreshingly dry sense of humour.

Travelling Belgium by water reveals the country in its most authentic form. Canals, locks and rivers connect past and present, cities and nature, culture and cuisine.

Our bike & boat tours combine the best of both worlds: activity and relaxation. Explore Flanders’ famous cities from the saddle, enjoy Flemish specialities by the water and end the day on board your ship – watching the sun set over the canals.

Travelling through the heart of Belgium

Flanders brings together everything that makes Belgium special: artistic cities, historic waterways and a warm, relaxed way of life. Between the North Sea and the Scheldt, a network of canals, cobbled streets and baroque façades stretches across the region. History meets indulgence in small breweries, cosy taverns and renowned chocolate shops.

Cycle paths lead past windmills, wide polder landscapes and quiet river arms, where life flows at an unhurried, enjoyable pace.

Between the North Sea and Flemish way of life

At the border between the Netherlands and Belgium, a world of water, wide horizons and history opens up. Rivers and canals connect the green landscapes of Zeeland and Flanders; windmills and dike villages alternate with magnificent trading cities. Maritime influences and Flemish culture blend closely here – cheese, beer, chocolates and art shape the region, as do friendly people and a distinctive sense of calm.

Whether along the coast, the Scheldt or in the old streets of Bruges and Ghent, the charm of both countries is revealed at its finest.

Classic River Cruises

Flower dreams, brewing traditions and baroque cities

For those who want to experience north-western Europe at a relaxed pace, our classic river cruises through the Netherlands and Belgium are ideal. Between the Rhine, Scheldt and Meuse, a unique mix of maritime flair, culture and cuisine unfolds. During tulip season, vast landscapes turn into seas of colour, while historic cities such as Antwerp, Ghent, Brussels and Nijmegen bring history vividly to life.

Rotterdam’s modern architecture, Bruges’ medieval charm and the hospitality of Flanders make every stage a special experience. On board, enjoy the comfort of your floating hotel while windmills, dikes and elegant gabled houses glide past. And of course, there is no missing what the region is famous for: melt-in-the-mouth chocolates, freshly poured beer and a hint of spring in the air.
