This cruise has been crafted to coincide with Christmas Markets in two European cities, which are reached via historically important rivers. You can soak up the cosy atmosphere while browsing the stalls for traditional handicrafts and sipping on warming mulled wine. In Antwerp, there will be chances to view art nouveau architecture, unearth the works of Rembrandt, sample Belgian chocolate and explore the diamond district – the largest of its kind in the world. Rouen’s medieval streets, half-timbered buildings and links to Joan of Arc are yours to discover before Balmoral sails the picturesque River Seine via the French countryside – a journey only possible on smaller ships.

Sailing from Southampton on Monday 16th December 2024 for a 6 night cruise onboard Balmoral.

⚓ Highlights include: Antwerp, Belgium - Rouen, France and Cruising the River Seine.

Prices from £699 per person based on 2 people sharing an interior cabin on a full board basis. Ocean view cabins available from £899 per person and Balcony cabins from £1,399 per person. Includes £50 per person on board spend.

🌟 PLUS, when booking don’t forget your dividend card, to receive money back and to help local good causes!
