How about a trip to Bermuda?

A cruise to the enchanting island of Bermuda is perfect for romantics and families alike! Established in 1609, Bermuda is Britain's oldest colony - rich in history and charm. She will welcome you to the pastel world of its pink-sanded beaches, magnificent blue waters and purple-flowered trees.

Only 22 miles from West to East, there are plenty of choices for those seeking activity and adventure and those who prefer peace and quiet. Whether it's snorkeling in a quite cove on the South side, playing 18 holes on the North Side, or exploring a cave in Central Bermuda, anyone will have a great time here.

Bermuda Cruises are typically 7 nights long and depart seasonally on Saturdays and Sundays from:

  • The Port of New York
  • Port of Boston
  • Cruises to Bermuda are available between April and October.

    A Cruise Vacation Offers Great Value


    A Cruise Vacation Offers Great Value

    Cruises offer great value for your vacation dollar because the fares include nearly everything you'll need for a fantastic trip: food, accommodations, daytime and evening entertainment and transportation between travel destinations. We regularly see fares on mainstream cruise lines for under $100 per person, per night, which is astonishingly cheaper than you'd spend on land for a hotel, dinner and a show. On some lines, kids even sail free or at discounted rates when sharing a cabin with two adults. Looking for luxury? Upscale lines are even more inclusive, with alcohol and soft drinks, gratuities, shore tours, onboard spending credits, and even flights often bundled into the base price. Check out my web page at http://pgawne-mark.cruisesinc.com and let me help you find your dream cruise vacation! Or call 218-464-1722 for more information.

These cabins are available on other Costa ships, as well.
