This year for our Christmas Staff Trip, we went on a weekend cruise from Southampton to Zeebrugge onboard the Ventura.

We embarked on Friday 15th November and enjoyed a lovely afternoon of looking around the ship and waving Southampton away as we sailed off, before a delicious 3 (or for some of us 4.. or 5) course meal in one of the restaurants. This was then followed by a 'few' drinks that might have ran into early Saturday morning...

On Saturday morning after breakfast, we made our way (with sore heads) into Bruges to have a look around the Chocolate shops and walk along the canals. We made it back to the ship with enough time to see the sunset over the Port of Zeebrugge.

Saturday evening was spent smartening ourselves up for the Black Tie night onboard. Everyone was suited and booted for our meal, although the bow-tie's came off for the dancing later on!

It was a brilliant weekend and the Seamariner staff are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to go away for our Christmas party. A massive Thank You to Lynne for organising - it was fab!
