Southampton (London) to Hamburg

Leaving behind the maritime heritage of the UK at Southampton, we cross the English Channel to Zeebrugge, jump-off point for Belgium’s Golden Age gems, including Ghent, Antwerp, and Bruges. Be dazzled by diamonds, admire the glories of old Flemish masters, and soak up the ambiance of the cobbled, medieval streets. Next, we move on to vibrant Rotterdam, where an overnight stay allows us to truly explore the Netherlands’ second-largest city. Renowned for its lively vibe and fascinating food scene, this is also the place to see the famous yellow cube-houses and striking Erasmus Bridge. We travel on to Germany and alight in Hamburg, as artsy as Berlin but with a more lowkey vibe. Savor two days of exploring its museums, architecture, and cool cafes.
