A British colony and
exquisite resort in the North Atlantic of 54 sq. kms, only
has a population to greet you of 65,000. Shipwrecked English
colonists headed for Virginia first settled Bermuda in 1609.
Tourism to the island to escape the harsh North American winters
first developed in Victorian times, and continues to be vital
to the island’s economy. Cruise ships now contribute
to the tourism activity, with many sailings year round from
east coast ports such as Boston and New York. International
business has overtaken tourism in recent years, as Bermuda
developed into a highly successful offshore financial center.

Fiercely loyal to the British Crown, a
referendum on independence was soundly defeated in 1995. Bermuda
enjoys one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, and
provides many luxurious facilities for tourists. Many cruise
lines offer cruises, which include a number of days in Hamilton
or Saint George as part of their Bermuda cruise.
Bermuda has a remarkably mild climate that seldom sees extremes
of either hot or cold, with the hottest part of the year between
May and October.
Make sure you pick up a pair of genuine Bermuda shorts (must
be 2 inches above the knees) on your cruise to this island paradise.
