OVERVIEW
Many people think that Bermuda is part of the Caribbean. In
reality, Bermuda located hundreds of miles north of the Caribbean, and
about 1,000 km (650 miles) from the Eastern United States. An overseas
territory of the UK, the Bermuda archipelago consists of 140 separate
islands, linked with each other by bridges. Bermuda Islands are famous
for its spectacular coastal landscapes, magnificent beaches
with white and pink sand, lush vegetation and unique wildlife. Local
traditions and customs were strongly influenced by the British
colonists, while US's and Caribbean's geographical closeness to
Bermuda also provided influence on the islands' culture.

CRUISE LINES
Most Bermuda cruises are
single-destination voyages departing from a number of US ports,
including Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk and Florida. There are three main
ports on the main island: City of Hamilton, Town of St.George and
King's Wharf. Some cruise ships stop at two different ports
during a Bermuda cruise travel. We recommend you
Celebrity
Cruises,
Norwegian
Cruise Line and
Royal
Caribbean Cruises as the best Bermuda cruise line choices.

CRUISE TIPS
Visitors to Bermuda can
not rent a car, but may only rent motor scooters, use
the public bus system, or take taxis. Bermuda also has many
restaurants featuring the island's
distinctively spicy cuisine. Unfortunatley, unlike many Caribbean
destinations, there are no tax-free port facilities in the Bermuda.
Local stores are mostly upscale with particular
emphasis on fine products from around the world and especially the UK.
