The first time I saw Bermuda was on purpose. I watched the sun rise over its famous pink beaches as my cruise ship approaches its shore, excited for the boat to dock so my family and I could explore the destination we selected for our vacation. We had planned our visit for months, and when two days proved to be an insufficient amount of time to see the islands we promised each other we would return as soon as we could.
The second time I saw Bermuda wasn’t planned at all. My parents and I booked a transatlantic cruise with scheduled stops in the Caribbean, but when Hurricane Irma devastated our ports of call our itinerary replaced St. Maarten and St. Thomas with an overnight in Bermuda. We had promised to return, and we did—much sooner than expected.
Bermuda is a wonderful destination in itself. With direct flights from several major cities on the USA’s east coast (as well as London: Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory) it’s an easy trip. It’s also a popular cruise destination, which has benefits and drawbacks: cruising in itself is a lot of fun, but your time at most ports of call is limited. During our first trip to Bermuda we planned to have three full days on the island but ended up with just two when pouring rain kept us on the boat.
Whether you plan for a long weekend, a full week, or just a day or two during a cruise, here are three of the top places to visit during your trip to Bermuda!
