The sand
really is pink, and the style is decidedly British in this Atlantic Ocean
island gem a day a half by ship from 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 this island are single-destination journeys,
giving vacationers several days to enjoy the many delights it offers while
using their 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. Bermuda also has an abundance of restaurants
featuring the island's distinctively spicy cuisine.
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. Though a small island, Bermuda has two cruise ship ports
- one at Hamilton, the island's capital, and the other at Kings Wharf. |
