Creator's Key Takeaways

I've heard nothing but good things about Bruce so this is my second time too this port

this is potentially the easiest City I've been to in a long time for knowing what way to go when you get off of the bus or the train

Bruges has completely won me over

I would love to go back and visit Bruce properly at some point

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the shuttle bus from the port to the train station instead of walking
Buy a train ticket for 5 euros to get to Bruges and back
Visit the beer wall at 2B for a unique experience
Plan your time to catch the last shuttle back to the ship

YouTube Video Description

#Cruise #Bruges In this video, I'm showing you what you can do if you're hoping to spend a day in Bruges, Belgium on a future cruise. I visited the city onboard MSC Virtuosa - we docked at the port of Zeebrugge, and I travelled into the city by train. I'll show you how to get to Bruges when you visit by cruise ship, I'll give you an insight to the city, before then returning to show you the city of Blankenberge. We'll then head back to the ship for a very 'different' party event onboard...! Like this video? Great! Please hit both the THUMBS UP and SUBSCRIBE buttons to support my channel!
