CRUISE TO BERMUDA!

Though a small island, Bermuda has two cruise ship ports - one at Hamilton, the island's capital, and the other at Kings Wharf. 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.

So what should you expect when you get there? Well, the sand really is pink, and the style is decidedly British in this Atlantic Ocean island gem, which is only a day a half by ship from most ports on the East Coast. Although some cruise ships call at Bermuda on the way to or from the Caribbean and Bahamas or Europe, most cruises to Bermuda are single-destination journeys, giving you several days to enjoy the many delights it offers while using your 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. Tired of eating onboard? Then you'll be glad to know that Bermuda also has an abundance of restaurants featuring the island's distinctively spicy cuisine.
