Port tour Zeebrugge

Back to overview

Discover a world port in action!

Captain Blue shows you the ins and outs of a real world port. Get a taste of the sea air and activate all your senses. Place to throw anchor for cargo giants, ferries, cruise ships, fishing boats, tugboats, luxury yachts and all this barely a few steps from each other.

During the trip, we see the Belgian naval base, the gas terminal and the wind turbines on the dam. You will also get to see the island of terns (with its thousands of seabirds) and one of the largest sea locks in the world. The tour with audio-visual guide (75 min) will give you a completely different view of a world port. This is a boat to remember.
