Nieuwport - Bruges - Deinze - Gent

Departing from Nieuwport, stop in Oudenbourg for some sightseeing and a bike ride before departing for the lovely city of Bruges where you can enjoy walking its cobbled streets and a meal of ‘moules frites’ (mussels in white wine with French fries) in one of the lively restaurants on the famous central square. Move on to spend time in Deinze, then cruise on the River Leie towards Gent, admiring the splendid castles that line the riverbanks.

Nieuwpoort

Base manager Yvan Halsberghe welcomes you to Nieuwpoort. Nieuwpoort is a fishing harbour and pleasurecraft port. It has an overwhelming seafood market, with morning catches from the North Sea and a wealth of fresh fish and seafood restaurants. The old town has a market in the square on Thursday afternoons. There are several parks with tennis courts, a sports hall, swimming pool and mini golf.

Gent

Situated at the crossroads of the Rivers Lys and Escaut, in the heart of the Flemish region, Gent is an historic and contemporary city, with fine architecture, beautiful cathedrals, medieval castles, museums of art and lively market squares. Add to all this the gastronomic specialities of Belgium and you will be delighted by a visit to Gent!
