Facilities - Cruises

Sepp Van Dun

Antwerp is the second largest port in Europe and the regeneration of the historical docks area affords the visitor a view of a true trendy city: stylish architecture, bars and restaurants muscling in the old town. Riches from the Golden Age abound around the historical city centre cobbled streets and much in contrast to many other cruise destinations the major sights are in walking distance of the berth. The aesthetics and functionality of this layout make Antwerp a unique cruise destination, providing what other places around the globe simply can’t duplicate.

Dedicated berth in the historical city centre

The golden rule of real estate sounds location, location, location. This rings also true for cruises as the berth reflects the potential of a destination. Cruising is about reaching a place where passengers are welcomed by locals and where they can admire a view over the city. In Antwerp ships have a dedicated berth in the historical city centre. Not many ports can offer passengers a prime location but in Antwerp you are our guest and get the best seat in the house.
