Oh no, the ship has sailed on this cruise
Sorry, the ship has sailed on this mini cruise and I'm sure it was a blast! Never mind though, there are plenty more mini cruises to choose from.
About this cruise
Weighing in on the larger side of the mid-sized cruise ship category, Crown Princess is big but not enormous, making it ideal for a first-time cruise. If you are a seasoned sailor who has tried lines like Royal Caribbean, P&O Cruises, and Holland America, this would be a great opportunity to see how Princess Cruises compares.
The cruise begins mid-week on a Wednesday, returning early on Sunday morning. You will board Crown Princess in Southampton and sail overnight to Zeebrugge. From here you can choose to visit the medieval city of Bruges or venture further into the capital, Brussels. You'll find a great range of art galleries, museums, and architecture in both, as well as Belgian favourites of beer, waffles, and delicious Belgian chocolate on tap.
You'll have a day at sea as you sail along the English Channel between Belgium and Guernsey. This is your chance to see what the ship is really like, so use the opportunity wisely to see if a longer cruise holiday would be something you'd enjoy. It might be too cool to enjoy a lazy day by the pool in your bikini, but the weather in Western Europe is becoming ever-more unpredictable, so who knows? There's always the spa instead. The ship's crew will be running activities throughout the day to keep you busy.
The following morning will see you arrive just outside St Peter Port, where the ship will anchor offshore. Tender boats will ferry passengers back and forth from the picturesque island.
In the evening, the ship will start its journey back to Southampton so you will want to make the most of being on Sapphire Princess on your final night.
