Bermuda Cruises Sail To A Unique Destination
Take a Bermuda cruise vacation and you will experience paradise at its finest. Bermuda is home to world-famous pink sand beaches and sparkling blue waters. You can experience snorkeling and scuba diving, swimming with dolphins, glass bottom boat rides, fishing, and more.
Is golf more your speed? There are more golf courses per square mile in Bermuda than any other country in the world. If you are delighted by historic treasures, then you will be pleased with what St. Georges has to offer. In this 17th century seaport, you will be transported back in time while walking on cobblestone streets and visiting the World Heritage Site. The city of Hamilton is the bustling capital city and is known for its shopping and restaurants.
Bermuda is found about 600 miles off the coast of North Carolina in the Atlantic Ocean. The even climate found in the small British territory will please anyone – the temperature during spring, summer and fall ranges from 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to bring your hat, sunglasses or sunscreen so you can enjoy the beaches without getting sunburned. You will also not have to worry about hurricanes on your Bermuda cruise vacation since Bermuda is generally out of the main path of the storms.
In order to cruise to Bermuda, there are several convenient ports on the East Coast of the United States to choose from: New York, Cape Liberty (New Jersey), Baltimore, Philadelphia, Norfolk (Virginia), Charleston, Boston, and Fort Lauderdale. From these ports, several major cruise lines depart on five day and seven day cruises.
Many of the cruise ships will visit Bermuda over 20 times in one cruise season, which lasts from April to November in Bermuda. Your choices for cruise lines are Royal Caribbean, Princess, Norwegian Cruises, Carnival and Celebrity. There are other smaller lines that do travel to Bermuda but not as frequently.
In Bermuda, there are three major ports, but only two are large enough for the biggest cruise ships to anchor in. Therefore, most cruisers will dock either at Kings Wharf (West End) or St. George’s (East End).
Kings Wharf has more modern amenities with lots of activity going on in the area. At Kings Wharf, you will find the Royal Naval Dockyard and Bermuda Maritime Museum, as well as restaurants and shopping. St. Georges offers a quieter port with historic cobbled streets, quaint shops, and museums. Here you can take a walk back in history with its largely untouched architecture from the 17th century.
There is no need to worry about missing out on either port – Bermuda is only 21 miles long so it is easy to travel between them to check out all the sites. In Bermuda there are no rental cars to so you can take public buses, ferries or even rent scooters to get around the island.
Take a cruise to Bermuda for the trip of a lifetime. You will not be disappointed with the friendly people, gorgeous scenery, and beautiful weather.
