New Bruges & Amsterdam Crystal Cruise goes off the beaten track

With low cost taxi transfer from Brussels airport

Crystal Cruises returns to Bruges and Amsterdam this summer for the first time in years, with a new, one-week itinerary from London.  On the 8th June, Crystal Serenity voyage offers a luxurious journey to two of Northwestern Europe’s most enchanting, historic, scarcely visited cities.  More than a dozen new Crystal Adventures throughout the cruise show this area’s artistic history, table delicacies, and vivid human and natural environment.

Bruges—approachable through the gateway port of Zeebrugge—is one of this area’s most popular cities with Medieval relics, and rich in French and Flemish influence. With beautiful flowers blooming all around, atmospheric old almshouses, and fascinating Markt and Burg market squares, this old city really revives during summer. On these Crystal Adventures travellers can walk down the busy cobblestone streets, sail through the canals (they are called reien), learn the history of the Great War in Flanders, taste local chocolate and beer, and even have road-trips to the Belgian capital, Brussels. Transfers2airport.com offers a low cost taxi and minibus transfer service from Brussels Airport and Charleroi Airport to Bruges and Antwerpen. Book your transfer in now and enjoy a hassle free ride to your cruise!

In Amsterdam, staying overnight in port allows us to make use of the long Northern European days and ceaselessly entertaining beauty, gazing people at a „brown cafe”, the fine street art of graffiti artists, sketch artists, and performers. Crystal Adventures take travellers to windmills, seaside resorts and villages, the Hague, the Heineken brewery, a 125 year-old diamond factory, a star-shaped fortress, a local cheese farm, a flower market and auction with thousands of tulips, museums of famous Dutch painters like Van Gogh and Rembrandt, a delft pottery, boat and bicycle city tours, Anne Frank ‘s house, and to explore Amsterdam’s environmental innovations, from eco-friendly boats to dam and dike engineering.

Also recent is a two-day Overland Adventure from Zeebrugge. It takes guests to different cities: Liege, Brussels, Bastogne, Delft, the Hague, and more, accomodating them in a five-star hotel. Three-course meals are part of the journey.

Further visits to Oslo, Norway; Helsingborg, Sweden and Copenhagen, Denmark (overnight) offer travellers the opportunity to get a deeper glimpse into Scandinavian culture, amazing summer landscapes, and historic landmarks from the times of navigation. Seashore excursions include explorations of Oslo’s art scene, Olympic wheelbobbing, visits to castles and royal residences, and amusement park rides at the Tivoli Gardens.
If booked by April 30, all inclusive, cruise only fares begin at $2,885 per guest, with attractive air add-ons available.
