In early April, we enjoyed a week-long, very relaxing, cruise from New York City to Bermuda and back. It was our first time in Bermuda, and we truly had a wonderful time. As we sailed out of New York City and down the Hudson River our first encounter was with the always magnificent Statue of Liberty, located on Liberty Island.   

The cruise from New York City to Bermuda takes about 2 days, sailing across the relatively calm seas of the Atlantic. Upon arriving in Bermuda, our ship docked at the Royal Naval Dockyards, a site that dates back to 1809, where we tied-up for the next several days, providing a welcoming “hotel” for all of us

Bermuda is a British Territory, so it has a distinct British ”flavor” to it, including driving on the left side of the road. Bermuda is a beautiful and very clean island, with gorgeous beaches, wrapped all around its approximately 20 square miles. Geologically, Bermuda was formed by volcanoes, but of the underwater variety, meaning there are no visible craters or cones.  Indeed, the island is relatively flat.  Bermuda is famous for its many beautiful homes; most located on the water or with beautiful ocean views. A little-known fact about Bermuda is that there is no central source of fresh water on the island, so 100% of the island survives on rainwater. Every home has a huge underground storage tank fed by rain runoff from the roof.

Bermuda is probably most famous for the “Bermuda Triangle,” with the island forming the northernmost apex of the triangle. As part of this, Bermuda is home to between 300 and 400 shipwrecks as well as mysterious stories of missing aircraft. Most of the shipwrecks were caused by encounters with the coral reefs surrounding the island. We had the opportunity to sail out into the Bermuda Triangle one day and see one of the shipwrecks, as well as several coral reefs and schools of beautiful fish. The coral is quite different from that that we are used to in tropical waters, as it is not nearly as brightly colored. This is due to the much cooler waters around the island, as it is so far north.   Bermuda is actually closer to Canada than it is to the Caribbean.

If you ever get the chance to visit Bermuda, make sure that you do, as you will enjoy every minute of it.
