The Side of Belgium Most Tourists Never Get to See | By Luxury Barge
Join us as we continue our journey through Belgium, stepping aboard the 1907 luxury hotel barge Delfine and exploring the profound history of Flanders and the Belgian waterways. From the deeply moving First World War memorial sites around Ypres—including Essex Farm Cemetery and the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate—to setting sail along peaceful canals toward Nieuwpoort, Oudenburg, and the coast, this is a side of Belgium most travellers never get to experience.
