Cruise to Bermuda

Popular Bermuda cruises depart from several ports on the United States east coast. The gorgeous islands of Bermuda are relatively nearby, and the weather is wonderful in the summer. Attractions include pink sand beaches, historic towns, fine snorkeling, and some of the world’s most famous golf courses. Bermuda cruise passengers avoid the high cost of hotels.

The Bermuda cruise season is from April to November. Cruise from Boston, New York, Cape Liberty, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston or Fort Lauderdale to Bermuda.

The best website for information is the Bermuda Cruises Guide. It has a complete up-to-date calendar of cruises to Bermuda, and all you need to know about the cruises by departure port and by cruise line. BermudaCruiseGuide.com is the only complete resource out there.

The rustic yet elegant, grand mountain Lodge is located just 45 miles east of Portland, Oregon, on the Washington side of the Columbia River.The lodge was built in 1993, and was a true public-private partnership involving four primary parties: The Columbia River Gorge Commission, The USDA Forest Service, Skamania County and Grayco Resources, Inc.The lodge was designed to be reminiscent of the awesome lodges of early 1900’s, which had charm and appeal, and contained all modern guest conveniences. Thus, the design of the four-story Cascadian style lodge, with high-pitched roofs, interesting uses of timbers, wood paneling and native stone came to fruition. Black wrought iron was used for artistic highlights and comfortable furnishings remind you of days gone by.

embassy suites waikiki beach walkThe Embassy Suites Hotel Waikiki Beach Walk opened this week on the island of Oahu. One- and two-bedroom suites at the 22-floor hotel count flat screen TVs, free high-speed Internet access and complimentary hot breakrapid each morning as standard amenities. Elsewhere in the hotel, guests will find an outdoor pool that changes colors at night - mood lighting for the nightly manager’s reception, where free drinks and snacks prep travelers for a night out in Waikiki.

Another perk - the hotel offers guests free local and domestic long-distance calls. So minute-conscious travelers can put away the cell phone during the trip.

Standard rates start at $399/night for a one-bedroom suite and $549/night for a two-bedroom suite. Throughout 2007, the hotel is offering a special $249 introductory nightly rate for a one-bedroom suite. The catch? The cheapie rate is only available for a certain number of rooms per night, so contact the hotel directly for availability.
