Bermuda Cruises
The sand really is pink, and the style is
decidedly British in this Atlantic Ocean island. Although some cruise ships call at Bermuda on the way to or from
the Caribbean and Bahamas or Europe, most cruises to this island are
single-destination journeys, giving vacationers several days to enjoy the many
delights it offers while using their ship as a floating resort hotel.
Tourists are not allowed to drive automobiles in
Bermuda, but readily available motor scooters and bicycles allow independent
explorations of this small island. The shops are decidedly upscale with
particular emphasis on fine products from around the world and especially
Britain. Bermuda also has an abundance of restaurants featuring the island's
distinctively spicy cuisine.
Summer is prime time for Bermuda cruises, and
ships depart for the island from a number of East Coast ports, including Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk, as well as from Florida. Though a
small island, Bermuda has two cruise ship ports - one at Hamilton, the island's
capital, and the other at Kings Wharf.
