Tee up on one of Bermuda's eight championship golf courses and marvel at the island's spectacular vistas. When you return to your ship, enjoy a cool sorbet and fresh, cold towels-served poolside. From the historic architecture of the capital city of Hamilton, to the postcard-come-to-life appeal of St. George, delight in the natural wonder, culture and history of this remarkable island paradise.

From snorkeling over ancient shipwrecks to visiting secluded locales off the beaten path, feel your cares melt away as you revel in the warmth of the tropics.

EUROPE

It's the ancient land of legends and kings, where empires were built and destroyed. Dreams and ideas came to fruition here, on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and in the grand halls of St. Petersburg. Today, the call of Europe is stronger than ever, with its brilliant mosaic of bygone eras and modern-day wonders. Stand at the base of the temple of Poseidon and it's as if you were at the threshold of modern civilization. But look beyond the hilltops of Athens, to the intricate canals of Venice or the gothic cathedrals of Spain; gaze northward to the shores of Normandy or the cliffs of Edinburgh; reach for the great Viking waters of Norway or the virgin tundra of North Cape. Only then will you begin to comprehend the scope and history of this most wondrous continent.
