CroisiEurope reveals new Belgian Christmas market cruise

Europe’s largest river cruise operator, CroisiEurope, has launched a brand new cruise taking guests to some of the most
magical Christmas markets along the Belgium canals.

The four-day cruise, which launches in December 2025, is between Bruges and Ghent and includes visits to the Christmas
markets in Bruges and Ghent. There are two Christmas markets in Bruges – a large one in Grote Markt which is known for
its traditional chalets, ice skating rink and festive decorations, and a smaller, more intimate one near Simon Steyinplein
which focuses more on artisanal crafts. Ghent’s Christmas market extends out from Sint-Baafsplein along the Botermarkt
and Klein Turkije to the end of the Korenmarkt. Known as “Winter in Ghent” or “Gentse Winterfeesten”, it features over 150
wooden stalls selling gifts as well as seasonal food and drink.

Other highlights include a guided tour of Bruges and a tasting of traditional Flemish beer at the Bourgogne des Flandres
brewery; a tour of Ghent with a tasting of local specialities; and onboard tastings of hot chocolate, bredeles (Christmas
cookies) and sweet Belgian waffles.

The cruise takes place on the MS Raymonde which features just 11 en-suite outward facing cabins, restaurant, lounge bar,
sun deck and relaxation area with Jacuzzi. And, with six crew members including a talented chef serving up a variety of
mouth-watering dishes, guests are guaranteed a truly personalised service.

The cruise will operate between Bruges and Ghent on 6th and 14th December 2025, and between Ghent and Bruges on
2nd and 10th December 2025. Prices start from 1,039€ per person for the cruise with all meals and drinks onboard, excursions
and port fees.
