CHARMING BERMUDA

Departures

Shipwrecks, knee socks, spectacular beaches, lush vegetation, unique wildlife and some of the most beautiful pink sand beaches in the world….this is Bermuda! Even though we speak of Bermuda as an “island,” it is in fact composed of approximately 180 islands, linked by bridges, and divided into nine picturesque parishes. As Britain’s oldest colony, Bermuda’s influence continues to dominate government, educational and legal institutions. You may spot a judge walking through Hamilton in a powdered wig, or a bobby directing traffic or overhear a passionate conversation about a local cricket match.

Explore Hamilton’s pastel-hued colonial buildings and shop in lovely shops for British linens and fine china and wonderful island products. On the quieter side, discover charming St. George’s, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The second oldest settlement in North America, St. George’s is home to the impressive Fort St. Catherine, last used in WWII as an Allied outpost in the Atlantic.

After a short flight to New York, we embark on the gracious ms Veendam, settle into our comfortable cabins and then sit back and enjoy as we make our way to beautiful Bermuda - CLICK HERE to view photos of the new exciting ms Veendam!

PORTS OF CALL

° What qualifies an entire town for UNESCO World Heritage Site status? For St. George’s (est.1612) it was both British charm - stone buildings, neatly bricked streets, heraldic signs – and the British Army and Royal Navy military installations that protected it through the centuries. Among the town's many historic strongholds is Fort Catherine, housing breathtaking replicas of Britain's Crown Jewels.

° North of the wide Sargasso Sea, Bermuda straddles the unlikely fence between all things British and Caribbean. Discover pink-sand beaches, colorful cottages and British colonial charm. Sample shore excursions: Hamilton Bay Cruise; Dock Yard Walk with the Admiral.

° New York was once the capital of America, but that illustrious title seems insignificant compared to the modern role of the Big Apple. Fashion, finance and fine arts it all happens here.
