"Antwerp's Christmas Market is the perfect way to get into the festive spirit. "
Antwerp is the second largest city in Belgium, and the people really do make an effort at Christmas as they transform the city into a magical winter
wonderland in the festive period. This four day mini-cruise gives you plenty of free time in Antwerp as well as all the inclusive treats onboard
Fred.Olsen's Black Watch. Every year the sprawling 'Christmas Village' is set up in the festively decorated old market square in front of the grand
City Hall. The Christmas Markets are made up of a wealth of stalls selling everything from pastries and glühwein to handicrafts and toys. There
is also an ice rink and a programme of concerts. This is the perfect break to not only indulge yourself but to purchase unique Christmas gifts for
friends and family. The historic port of Antwerp also boasts a lot of outstanding architecture and museums, including the largest diamond museum in
the world.
