Bermuda!

Bermuda is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is located approximately 650 miles east of North Carolina and consists of around 138 islands and islets. The largest and most populous island is simply called “Bermuda”.

The capital city of Bermuda is Hamilton, and its currency is the Bermudian dollar. Bermuda is known for its pink sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and warm climate. Despite its small size, Bermuda has a rich history, fascinating culture, and boasts a robust economy. Its economy is largely based on tourism, offshore finance, and reinsurance.

Bermuda’s government is modeled on the British parliamentary system, with a Governor appointed by the British monarch and a two-chamber parliament. Bermuda is also famous for the Bermuda Triangle, an area of the North Atlantic Ocean where several ships and planes have disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

Most cruise ships dock at the Royal Naval Dockyard which is a massive dockyard with plenty of shopping and eateries within the confines. There are also other activities to do within the dockyard such as an escape room, a man-made beach, a museum, putt-putt, and more. 

There is also a ferry that comes to the Royal Naval Dockyard that will take you to Hamilton. This is known as the “Blue Route”. There’s also a ferry that will take you to St. George’s. You will also find plenty of taxi’s ready to take you anywhere you want to go.
