All About Bermuda
Many people don't realize that Bermuda is actually a collection of 138
islands, with its Main Island often referred to as Bermuda. Known for
its
pink sand beaches and crystal clear
blue water, Bermuda is a
British territory with a thriving economy based on the financial
industry as well as tourism.
Bermuda Beaches
There is a local currency that it is tied to the US dollar, however the
US dollar is widely accepted. There are many great restaurants, bars
and sightseeing opportunities throughout the islands to keep you
entertained.
Rum is the favorite drink of the islands
with Gosling and
Horton brands making their homes here. All of this and a laid back
island mentality make this the perfect location for relaxation and fun.
When To Go
Bermuda has a mild sub-tropical climate that is
warm
and humid during
the summer and not usually colder than 60° in the winter. Such mild
temperatures make this a location that can be visited year round.
However, Spring and Summer are the most popular months. Due to its
location, hurricanes are definitely a concern in the Fall. Bermuda has
had a very proactive approach over the years to preventing severe
hurricane damage, so there is rarely any major damage incurred.
You will probably want to avoid hurricane season for cruising, however.
Although the islands themselves might be able to withstand a hurricane,
most cruise ships will not sail through dangerous conditions at sea. It
is better to avoid the chance that your honeymoon might get cancelled.
