First day of conference after a gloomy start with the weather. Lovely to catch up with our River Cruise suppliers, and all my travel agent buddies. My home for tonight is Emerald Luna, what a beautiful ship she is! Managed to grab a few pics before all the agents piled on. Welcome cocktails then dinner.

Day 3 hello Antwerp!! Great walking tour, followed by lunch onboard Viva Enjoy. Then we decided to go back and explore some more. What a beautiful city, and the best thing about river cruising is you pull up in the heart of each city. So step off the ship and see the city steps away from the centre. My first time to Antwerp I was so surprised at how lovely it was. So if you’re curious please get in touch to discuss more.
