Celebrity Cruises, Ltd, a merger between Celebrity Cruises International and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines features the deluxe 710 passenger, Azamara Journey and sister Azamara Quest.  Azamara Cruises enables the passenger to experience the areas of excursion up close.  Where large cruise ships can’t enter some ports; the Azamara Journey and Quest can slip into some of the smallest ports.  This makes the ships world class travel vessels.   The deluxe ships offer an intimate experience, while allowing access to exotic destinations experienced travelers long to reach.  There are only 3 cruise dates left in October 2007 for Bermuda; however, Azamara Cruises presents the best of Bermuda and South America in 2007, elite Asia and the most captivating Caribbean, South America and Europe in 2008, and around-the-world voyages in 2010. 

Cruise to Bermuda and experience 21 miles of pure paradise.  Explore and enjoy the legendary pink sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters of Bermuda.  The island offers water sports (boating, fishing, snorkeling and swimming with the dolphins).  On this tropical island paradise you’ll find historical sights, more golf courses per square mile than anyplace on earth, beautiful botanical gardens, and, of course, fabulous duty-free shopping.  Located about 600 miles off the coast of South Carolina, Bermuda boasts a near-perfect year-round climate with spring, summer and fall temperatures almost always a comfortable 70 – 85 degrees and, unlike most Caribbean islands (which are hundreds of miles further south), Bermuda has no “hurricane season” to “drown-out” your dream vacation.
