By Giles Alton

If you enjoy cruising and are looking for a new destination to explore, then plan a Bermuda cruise. World famous pink sand beaches and crystal blue oceans await. From fishing to snorkeling and scuba to world-class shopping and museums, there is something for everyone on this small subtropical island.

Do you want to play some golf? Bermuda boasts more golf courses per square mile than anywhere else in the world. If historic sites are more your speed, the port of St. Georges is a World Heritage Site that is sure to be awe inspiring. The capital city of Hamilton is where you will want to take an afternoon to visit the duty-free shops to find the perfect souvenir to take home. You can also experience British culture by dining in local restaurants.

A cruise to Bermuda will bring to this lovely British outpost in the Atlantic Ocean, only 600 miles from North Carolina. Bermuda boasts lovely, temperate weather for three seasons of the year so make sure to pack all of the appropriate beach gear to take advantage of the sun.

In order to get to Bermuda from the USA, there are several departure ports you can choose from. They are: Philadelphia, New York, Cape Liberty (NJ), Norfolk (VA), Baltimore, Charleston, Fort Lauderdale, and Boston. There are many options for five or seven day cruises from these ports.

Bermuda hosts several regular callers in its ports every cruise season, which is April through November. The most frequent cruise lines to send ships are Carnival, Norwegian Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Princess and Celebrity so you will have plenty of cruises to choose from.

There are three ports to choose from in Bermuda, but only two are accessible by the largest cruise ships that now frequent the island. Kings Wharf and St. George are the two largest ports.

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.

Cruise to Bermuda for the beautiful scenery and friendly people. You will not be disappointed in your Bermuda cruise vacation.
