Every year hundreds of river cruise ships visit Antwerp. Days with eight or more river
cruise ships docked at the same time are no rarity in the city.
Because the river cruise ships visit Antwerp in such large numbers it is not possible to
let them all dock in one single place.
Therefore the ships are spread out over three berth places in the city:
- the Scheldt Quays
- the Willemdok
- the Kattendijkdok
Below you can find information about all three berth places.

Berth place - Scheldt Quays
The river cruise ships that dock at the Scheldt Quays can do so at Quay 18 & 19, just behind the elevated
promenade Zuiderterras, at the bus parking. Up to six river cruise ships can dock here at the same time in
two blocks of three ships next to each other.
Scheldt Quay 18 & 19 are centrally located and visitors can easily reach the historic city centre after a short
walk on foot. After just a few minutes you stand in front of the medieval fortress ‘Het Steen’, or on the ‘Grote
Markt’ with its beautiful town hall and guild houses. From there the Cathedral of Our Lady is only a few steps
away.

alongside each other.
