I just came back from a cruise. The easiest way from Zeebrugge to Brugge is to use the cruise bus, but it also a most expensive way. It will cost you 8 euros to take you from the cruise ship to the Zeebrugge train station. From there you will buy a train ticket to go to Brugge. Taxi is not a best option too. All the taxi come to the cruise ship are 8 seater van. It will cost you 90 ( not sure) or so one way to Brugge. I only saw two vans stop at the ship when I got off. If you want to save some money and get some fellow cruisers share the taxi with you, I have tried, it is tough to work it out. It is a big boat, every one arrived at different time. It is very hard to gather everybody.
The way I did is to take the bus from the port authority, they will send the bus to take you to the gate, so no one will wondering around the port and get hurt. After You get off , turn right at gate. Find the tram station in the middle of the road. You don't need to across the street, just take the one with your same direction. This stop should be near a church standing across street. The tram looks like the one in the airport. They consider it as a bus in Zeebrugge. Now you need to remember the stop you get on is called Berk and don't forget the church. You get on the tram and buy the ticket from the bus driver to Blankenberge. I paid two euros for one way and it is cheaper to buy the return ticket. This tram will stops at a very busy cross street, it should be the Blankenberge. Get off and walk straight you will get into the train station. Buy a return ticket to Brugge. After you get off at the Brugge, buy a map at train station, because the street is quite confusing in Brugge and you don't want to miss the train by getting lost. Most importantly , give yourself enough time to go back. Because you don't know when the train is going to leave for Blankenberge . I almost miss the boat because I miss the train I am supposed to take. Have fun!
