Looking for a luxury experience on the water in Antwerp? Thanks to the river Scheldt and the vast port of Antwerp, there are several ways to discover the city from a unique perspective. From stylish yacht tours and private dinners on the water to intimate boat tours along the skyline, these boat experiences combine relaxation, culinary experiences and impressive views.
Antwerp and the water
The connection between Antwerp and water goes back centuries. As a port city on the river Scheldt, Antwerp grew into a major trade metropolis. Today, the river and the historic docks are not only the beating heart of the port, but also the setting for special experiences on the water.
