As a self confessed control freak, I decided to go against the tradition of the Maid of Honor planning the hen do and I would plan my own. Knowing I wanted to do something a little different but going abroad being an essential, I researched and looked into all sorts of packages through various websites and talked to friends and family who had previously married or attended hen do's until I found the one - a hen cruise!
Myself and six girls booked a 3 day cruise to Bruges, Belgium where we would celebrate my final single days in style! The cruise sailed from Southampton - Bruges on the P&O Azura cruise ship. It was the most unbelievable experience and was without doubt, the perfect choice!
On board the ship, everything was catered for - from a casino and nightclub to fine dining and cocktails on tap! It truly exceeded all our expectations!
After sailing for around 32 hours, On day 2 we arrived at the port of Zeebrugge where we caught local transport into the heart of Bruges. Bruges was the most beautiful, cultured city and wearing our tacky yet necessary 'hen do t-shirts' we were official tourists for the day eating Belgium chocolate and site seeing on a horse drawn cart!
For any bride planning their hen do or maid of honor's who have landed the job, my best advise is do your research and you will find the most amazing, reasonably priced trip of a life time!
The beautiful bouquet I received from my lovely bridesmaids they had hand delivered to our cabin when arrived on board.
The food on board was out of this world! I would go as far to say this one of the best meals I have ever had!
Evening 2 on board the Azura, guests were asked to wear 'Black Tie'. Being the bride, I wore white and the girls wore black.
