Imagine yourself meandering along the River Leie in Belgium stopping off in medieval towns and discovering charming villages brimming with fine chocolatiers, cafes offering a cold local beer and fresh tasty seafood. There are medieval cities to explore such as Ghent, the former capital of Belgium, with its impressive Gothic architecture, monuments and museums.
Le Boat’s ‘Chocolates and Lace’ itinerary offers a return self-drive canal cruise to Nieuwpoort, with stop-offs in Bruges, Deinze and Ghent. Highlights include Ostend, the largest city on the Belgian coast, with fine sandy beaches, a seaside promenade, neoclassical Royal Galleries and the grand Napoleon Fort. Anchor the boat in Bruges and tour the Straffe Hendrik Brewery where you can dine overlooking the canal and enjoying a locally made Belgian beer before visiting Belgium’s Chocolate Museum or the many divine chocolatiers and patisseries lining the quaint streets.
Le Boat provides the perfect way to tour Europe as captain of your own canal boat, with self-paced cruising allowing ample time and the freedom to explore destinations on a whim, whilst soaking up the perpetual views from your spacious sundeck. Le Boat’s special offer applies for guests travelling to Belgium during May and August this year. Prices start at $2,547 per boat for a seven-night ‘Chocolates and Lace Cruise’ departing on 20 June, with a $283 saving.
