Now transformed into the "The Antwerp Story" museum, it offers a fascinating and original way to explore the city's history through its various rooms. As you journey through the centuries, you will discover anecdotes, hidden secrets, and iconic buildings that make up Antwerp’s heritage. The panoramic terrace provides a breathtaking view of the Scheldt, the city, and the port—the second-largest port in Europe. After this immersive introduction, the tour continues to the historic center and the Grand Place. The UNESCO-listed Renaissance-style Town Hall is undoubtedly the most remarkable building. The Grand Place is lined with numerous richly decorated guild houses adorned with statues. At its center stands the famous Brabo Fountain, and just a few steps away is the Cathedral of Our Lady of Antwerp, a Gothic architectural masterpiece, with its north tower and 123-meter-high spire that has dominated the skyline for over five centuries.

Then, we will visit the Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library, one of the most beautiful and prestigious libraries in Belgium. Here, you will discover the Nottebohm Room, one of Antwerp’s best-kept secrets. Located in the library’s oldest wing, it was designed in 1936 as a ceremonial hall. The tour will then continue with a visit to the Red Star Line Museum, which chronicles the great wave of emigration to the United States between 1850 and 1930.

We will return to the ship for lunch and continue our navigation towards Ghent. As we sail along the Scheldt, we will pass through vast salt marshes, followed by the great plain leading to the Terneuzen lock and the Ghent-Terneuzen canal. Arrival in Ghent in the evening.
