Bruges, is definitely worth going. Belgium bis so small you can easily do day trips to all the different cities. Just think nof all the beer posts you can write !!!

Cruises are a lot more affordable nowadays, and are great if you want a full board getaway and don't want to plan any itinerary. Not exactly my cup of tea tbh, but not going to complain if it cost £350 for 8 days to western Europe!!
