With pink sand beaches and historical forts, Bermuda is a top cruise vacation spot for US travelers, who can easily take a cruise from many Eastern US cities. A high return visitor rate (50%) shows that Bermuda is growing in popularity despite heavy cruise regulations. Only 22 miles in length and barely two miles, Bermuda is a group of many islands connected by roads. Bermuda’s small size and large popularity rank it as the third most densely populated place on earth and the fifth smallest country in the world. Rental cars are prohibited for visitors, but pink buses travel along all major roadways, usually making stops every 15 minutes. One of the biggest draws of this active island is that you are never more than a mile from the Atlantic Ocean, no matter where in Bermuda you may be.
