\nMeuse & Ourthe Rivers by Night<\/a>
<\/span><\/div>\n

Belgium river cruises are a great way to travel in Europe. Itineraries feature historic cities, beautiful landscapes, and medieval towns, and are the perfect way to see the best Belgian urban areas and countryside in one trip.<\/p>\n

The major river in Belgium that is popular for cruises is the Rhine River. The Rhine runs through Antwerp and Ghent, and is great for day-long cruises along the banks in the city centres. Other popular destinations include Bruges, where hour-long tours are offered.<\/p>\n

River cruise ships vary from large boats to smaller ones, and the length of time of each cruise differs depending on where you go and how much time you have while visiting Belgium.<\/p>\n

Some Belgium river cruises are packages that include overnight accommodation and tours of cities near the rivers. Others are shorter trips that do not require staying overnight on the ship. Some are international, while others only cover destinations in the country.<\/p>\n

Whatever kind of river cruise you choose for your holiday in Belgium, you can either make a direct booking or book your cruise through a tour operator. Either way, shop around for cruise deals and compare what each package or independent cruise includes and excludes.<\/p>\n

A good tip for booking a Belgium river cruise is to plan your trip well in advance. A lot of operators offer deep discounts and deals for early bookings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
