Summer deals to Bermuda
With its soft, pink sand and crystal-clear blue seas, Bermuda is one of those dream destinations that seems like it should be expensive. Fortunately, deals abound in this British colony's 400th anniversary year.
Head to Bermuda this season and take advantage of "Sizzling Summer" offers from 15 island hotels - a $400 credit toward your stay of four nights or more. Book a flight from JFK on JetBlue, from $238 roundtrip. Or cruise to Bermuda from New York on Norwegian Cruise Line or Bayonne on Royal Caribbean, either from only $549.
Bermuda's big attractions include beaches and golf - there are eight top-notch courses. Then, of course, there is the British-ness. People like to say Bermuda is more British than Britain, and you just might believe that's true when you observe Bermudians watching a live cricket match or gathered around a pub TV cheering for Manchester United (New Yorkers, be forewarned: They also root for the Red Sox). Union Jacks seem to be flying everywhere.
As Britain's oldest colony, Bermuda is proud of its roots. Special events for the 400th anniversary year include historical exhibits, lectures and military "tattoos," or exercises.
While some people think of Bermuda as a Caribbean island, it's actually in the North Atlantic (the nearest land mass is North Carolina, still hundreds of miles away). The main island is just 20 square miles - there are also more than 100 smaller islands, most of them uninhabited. Bermuda is home to about 65,000, with a mix of roots that includes British, African, Caribbean and American.
Always good for a giggle is the uniquely Bermuda fashion statement of men in long shorts, worn with knee socks - the look known simply as Bermuda shorts.
Cruise ships dock in the West End at the Royal Naval Dockyard, a historic former base once dubbed "Gibraltar of the West." Nearby are art galleries and crafts makers (including glassblowers), museums and shopping.
To get around the island, some people like to rent motorbikes, but there are also plenty of cabs as well as inexpensive ferries and public buses.
For a history lesson, head to historic St. George's. The town is named for Sir George Somers, captain of the Sea Venture, the flagship of an English fleet heading for Jamestown, Va., in 1609 that wrecked on then-uninhabited Bermuda in a storm. Castaways founded the town in 1612, and today it's a UNESCO World Heritage site, with a charming square and lots of little alleyways, gardens and historic houses to explore.
For another kind of history lesson, stop at nearby Bailey's Bay at the original Swizzle Inn (www.swizzleinn.com). Bermuda's oldest pub claims to have invented the island's famous rum swizzles - rum mixed with fruit punch. Another Bermuda favorite is the Dark n' Stormy, rum mixed with ginger beer. You can also get a burger and fries here for $12.75, which is reasonable for the island.
