6 Night Western Europe Cruise from Southampton, with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines onboard the Balmoral calling at: Crusie River Seine, Rouen, Cruise River Seine, Zeebrugge

In just under a week, you’ll visit two cities during the festive season, with extended stays allowing you to experience them by day and night. Taking advantage of Balmoral’s size, you’ll sail along the scenic Seine River, surrounded by picturesque countryside and riverside villages, into Rouen – a route only accessible to smaller ships. By day, perhaps explore Rouen’s medieval streets, lined with colourful timber-framed houses, and discover the sights of Bruges, from your docking port of Zeebrugge. By night, immerse yourself in the cosy atmosphere of the Christmas Markets, where twinkling lights illuminate stalls offering local treats like mulled wine, chestnuts, gingerbread, apple brandy and Belgian waffles.
