Antwerp pier location

[cmthomas]

We are traveling to Europe independently and will be arriving in Antwerp by train. Our boat, the River Harmony, will be docked at Scheldekai 19 but that address does not show up on MapQuest Europe or Mappy. It appears from the city map that there are many docks running off of the river but they would seem to be for freighters. Does anyone know where Scheldekai 19 may be located? I am sure that a cab driver will know but it is much more comforting to have the info in hand just in case he doesn't know! Thanks! Clarence:)

If it's any help, here's a thread from another forum (which I found via a Google search) that includes a reference to the dock's location:

It appears that the dock is right next to the ocean cruise terminal at Scheldekaii 20/21, which you can see in a photo at:

Hi cmthomas, I live in Antwerp, so ask away ! The taxi driver will know the exact location, don't worry. From Antwerp Central station it will be a ride of 10 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic.

You may note that my original message was back in September. We found the dock with no problem and the voyage is now just a fond memory! It was delightful. I posted an exhaustive trip report (some may say boring!) under the topic Antwerp to Basel on the River Harmony that may be found below.:)

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't pay any attention to the date of your post, silly me:o

But, Im very happy you had a great ime and everything went well. If I have time, I'll read your report.
