Whether you’re planning to travel for a honeymoon or just a get-together of families or friends, a Bermuda cruise is the perfect way to enjoy. No matter what your likes or dislikes are; from pink sand beaches and shopping alleys to colourful nightclubs, Bermuda will have something to offer for all travellers looking for something extraordinary.
A Bermuda cruise is the best way to unearth the jewels of Bermuda, the total land area of which is only 35 square kilometres. When it comes to cruise options, there are a variety of kinds for you to choose from: family, business, honeymoon or even singles only. There are also two options for choosing a Bermuda cruise – you either board your cruise from the US itself or take a flight to Bermuda and then embark on your journey.
It is important to know the ports of call in order to plan your tour. Normally cruises will stop at all the three ports of Bermuda. Hamilton, the capital, is the busiest of all the small towns of Bermuda and is a great place for shopping. Also known for its exciting nightlife, Hamilton is bound to entertain all who visit.
Some of the settlements on Bermuda’s east coast are almost four centuries old including the port town of St. George’s, a World Heritage Site listed by UNESCO. And for even more historic tales, visitors can see the Royal Naval Dockyard where they can learn of about a history of British naval exploits through the various forts and museums on site. The three main ports will be your base while on the cruise and from there you can explore the centre, eastern coast and western coast. Horseshoe Bay, South Shore Park and the Cristobal Colon ship wreckage are all must-see places while in Bermuda. You can also choose from various activities to partake in while there, including eco-tourism, golf and water sports. If not, simply lay back on the beach and watch the majestic waves break upon the shore.
Bermuda receives moderate rainfall throughout the year. Tourist influx in the islands is at its highest during the months of April to September and cruise services during the winter months are almost negligible. Many cruises offer huge discounts during the low season so you can benefit from booking early and getting a fantastic bargain. Departures for Bermuda cruises are available throughout the year; so choose a schedule that suits you and your fellow travellers.
Before embarking on your cruise it is imperative to know what activities or charges are included in your cruise package. At all the ports passengers are charged an entry tax so make sure this is included in your fare. Cruise packages often advertise reduced rates; but find out whether it includes additional taxes, the expenses of hotel accommodation on land, city excursions or spa and gambling charges on board. Different price options are available – you can either book for a cruise that will also include your city expenses or you can book for the cruise only while do your own thing once you are on land. Both are flexible options for having the cruise of your lifetime in Bermuda.
