Cruise Terminal

The ABC tower (Artes-Bruges-Cruise) was operational in June 2018. Architect Olivier Salens wanted to create a gateway to the city with this symbolic building, a contemporary equivalent of the Belfry to underline the historical link between Bruges and the sea. The first two floors focus on the cruise passengers. A check-in, luggage handling, waiting areas, border control, shopping, etc. Here they go the extra mile to offer the passengers, especially Germans and British, a warm welcome. The next four floors are offices. At the very top there is Njord, a rooftop restaurant with panoramic views, named after the sea god of the Normans.
