Day	Travel station	Arrival	Departure
1.	Southampton (England) Departure: 16:00		16:00
	Southampton is the largest port in Great Britain. It is from here that the Mayflower set sail for the New World, as commemorated by the Mayflower Memorial. The town's landmark is the 'Bargate', a city gate built by the Normans. Southampton is also known as the entertainment capital on the South coast. Cinemas, theatres, museums, bars and pubs, art galleries and all kinds of watersports attract thousands of visitors.
2.	Zeebrugge (Flanders, Belgium) Arrival: 09:00 Departure: 18:00	09:00	18:00
	Zeebrugge, the largest fishing port in Belgium, is linked to Bruges, of which it is a subdivision, by means of a twelve kilometre long canal. Bruges is well worth a look. Along the long beach promenade there are lots of cafés where you can sit and relax. The fish auction hall at the rear of the harbour is one of the largest and most modern in Europe and can be seen during a tour of the harbour. Zeebrugge also has a yacht marina, with space to accommodate around one hundred ships. Sights include: St. George's Memorial, Pierre Vandamme sea-lock, the diamond museum, the Memling Museum, the Church of Our Lady, the Oldtimer and Motorbike Museum, Minne Water Park, and the home brewery 'De Halve Maan'.
3.	Cherbourg (France) Arrival: 09:00 Departure: 17:00	09:00	17:00
	The French port of Cherbourg is known on the one hand as a naval base, and on the other as a centre of the fishing industry. Cherbourg is thought to have been built on the site of the Roman camp of Coriallum. The town was badly damaged during the Allied invasion of 1944. Cherbourg was the Allies' first supply port on the continent.
