“Enjoy the international allure of the tall ships race in the grand port of Antwerp.”

Antwerp. Belgium
In 2010 Antwerp will host the prestigious tall ships race and will greet over a hundred tall ships to its attractive harbour. These impressive giants
of the sea are sure to amaze sailing enthusiasts and novices alike as they set off on their two month journey. During this festival weekend the city
also hosts many events, including concerts, maritime markets and spectacular firework displays that carry on long into the night. Either spend two
days taking in the carnival atmosphere of this striking coastal city, or join our optional excursion on day three. We call at the largest diamond
museum in the world, where you can explore the history and exhibits of the global diamond capital. Then we journey to the metropolitan city of
Brussels, famous for its traditional beers, chocolates and grand architecture. We offer a guided tour - an easy way to see the sights..
You will stay for three nights in a comfortable hotel in Belgium, such as, or similar to, the Novotel Antwerp. All hotels used have well-furnished
en-suite bedrooms as well as a bar and a dining room where continental breakfast will be included throughout your stay.
