Antwerp Cruise Port (c) MLouagie
Antwerp
The activities of the port of Antwerp are generally associated with goods, transport and high economic performances, but we deliver more than that. In the historical port area you will find marinas, both on the left and right bank of the river, offering facilities for a wide range of water-based leisure interests. The main activity on the Scheldt quays since 1996 is cruise related, and the investments in the terminal and facilities make Antwerp a fully-operational cruise destination.
Antwerp is the second-largest port in Europe and the regeneration of the historical docks area affords the visitor a view of a truly trendy city: stylish architecture blends with bars and restaurants in the old town. Cobbled streets wind along the historical city center as the sightseeing riches from the Golden Age are within walking distance of the berth. The aesthetics and functionality of this layout make Antwerp a unique cruise destination.
