PLANNING
YOUR TRIP TO
BERMUDA
Settling into Bermuda is relatively easy. First-timers
soon learn that Bermuda isn't one island, as is com-
monly thought, but a string of islands linked by cause-
ways and bridges—at least the 20 or so that are inhabited.
The other islands can be reached by boat.
In this chapter, you'll find everything you need to plan your trip. Getting
to Bermuda is easier than ever, thanks to more frequent flights from such
gateway cities as New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. We also
include information on several cruise lines that sail to the island from
spring until late autumn.
