Bermuda remains popular cruise destination
Eight member lines of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) will send at least 16 ships to one or more of Bermuda’s three ports between April and November.
Those three are Hamilton, St. George’s and King’s Wharf. Many of the cruises are five- to seven-day Bermuda-only itineraries from such homeports as Baltimore, Boston, New York, Cape Liberty, Philadelphia, Norfolk and Fort Lauderdale.
Other cruises feature Bermuda on transatlantic voyages, Caribbean repositioning trips or multi-island Caribbean itineraries.
“Its history, natural beauty and ideal location gives Bermuda a character unlike any other cruise destination in the Americas,” said Terry L. Dale, president and CEO of CLIA. He added:
“And for millions of passengers sailing from the East Coast, it’s a destination that requires no air travel because Bermuda cruises are offered from so many homeports.”
On most of these itineraries, cruisers can take advantage of another feature that helps make Bermuda popular – varied shore excursions.
Bermuda is made up of eight islands connected by causeways and bridges (including the world’s smallest draw bridge).
Cruisers can opt for a variety of shore excursions including the “EZ Ride Electric Bike West End Sightseeing Tour” to a less traveled part of the island on seven-speed electric mountain bikes or take in a “Helmut Diving Adventure” enabling divers to walk in 12-feet-plus waters without getting their hair wet, among other offerings.
