A 100 million-year-old dormant volcano rising 15,000 feet forms the atoll known as Bermuda. Coral reefs and submarine shelves form palettes for vibrant seas and pink beaches. These same reefs gave Bermuda its infamous “Isle of Devils” moniker.

Today’s cruise ships negotiate designated channels into this tropical port of call. Long known for sophisticated culture, you’ll walk art studio tours and watch international rugby matches on the same day. Nautical lore permeates here though, where the ‘Bermuda Rig’ remains the standard rigging for racing yachts worldwide.
