We’re going on Arcadia
Just to let you know this week the cruise.co.uk team will be heading down to Southampton to enjoy our Christmas party on board Arcadia.
We are meeting the ship on Thursday and the plan is to spend Friday in Bruges. However due to bad winds the last couple of sailing haven’t been able to dock in Bruges and the ship has had to change itinerary and go to the La Harve. I must admit if this happens I will be a bit disappointed! We did a similar trip last year to Bruges on Aurora and it was great. We spent the day exploring the Christmas market, ice skating and sampling the local drinks, mainly hot chocolate and wheat beer and the scenery was beautiful. The ground was covered in heavy snow and it certainly had a real Christmas feel.
Now there is nothing wrong with Le Harve. I am actually doing a three night sailing there in May on the independence of the Seas but our plan then is to head in to Paris. Now it takes at least two hours to get to Paris from the Le Harve which will be fine on this trip as the ship is spending the night in port. On Friday however we will only be there for a few hours and I’ve heard there is not a lot to see or do in Le Harve itself so I will probably just stay on board and explore the ship.
So fingers crossed we will reach Bruges and I can come homed stocked up on Belgian chocs!

Now if you do need to contact us between the 15th -17th don’t worry there will still be a skeleton staff in the office but if it’s not urgent I’ll be back around 13:00 on Saturday
