Now that would be a mini cruise
Mig, it sounds lovely. I have a thing about the First World War and we stayed in Ypres for a week some years back. The Menin Gate is amazing and they play the Last Post there every evening. There's a cafe / bar just below it where you can get a terrific herbal beer. If possible see the museum in Ypres and Passchendaele. So moving.
Bruges is lovely. There is also a good cafe / bar where you can buy.....
Have a great time!0 -
I'd like to add that we saw Alfie Boe in concert 2 years ago and he was amazing . Good fun and down to earth but an incredible voice ; loved it so much that my cat was named after him . Have a wonderful trip .

Just remembered the name of the beer we had in Bruges (though not the lovely Ypres herbal one). It was Delirium Tremens0

What a great gift Mig! I did a similar route about 3 years ago on the MSC Poesia. We ended up in Kiel and had to fly back from there.
I felt very humbled at the Menin Gate, the long list of names .....
As with all memorials a beautiful but sad experience. If you are going to stay for the night service. I do recommend you get there early to get a good spot.
Have a brilliant time0 -
