Bermuda
Overview
We are pleased to announce new itineraries departing from New York City to Bermuda, a dreamy tropical isle with a decidedly British flair. From Historic St. George, a charming UNESCO World Heritage Site to Hamilton, with pastel-colored storefronts, there is something for everyone. Here, proper business attire is Bermuda shorts, cricket is the national sport and afternoon tea goes without saying. An interesting fact about Bermuda is there are more golf courses per square mile than anywhere else in the world. Highlights: the famous pink beaches and secluded coves of South Shore Park, the quaint shops and boutiques of Hamilton, the rich colonial history of St. George. Holland America’s 7-day Bermuda itinerary is perfect for families with summer departures from August – October, all conveniently roundtrip from New York.
Featured Ports & Excursions
New York was once the capital of America, but that illustrious title seems insignificant compared to the modern role of the Big Apple. Fashion, finance and fine arts - it all happens here.
North of the wide Sargasso Sea, Bermuda straddles the unlikely fence between all things British and Caribbean. Discover pink-sand beaches, colorful cottages and British colonial charm. Sample shore excursions: Hamilton Bay Cruise; Dock Yard Walk with the Admiral.
What qualifies an entire town for UNESCO World Heritage Site status? For St. George’s (est.1612) it was both British charm - stone buildings, neatly bricked streets, heraldic signs – and the British Army and Royal Navy military installations that protected it through the centuries. Among the town's many historic strongholds is Fort Catherine, housing breathtaking replicas of Britain's Crown Jewels.
Protection Plans
Cancellation Protection Plans
CPP Standard Plan
Our Standard Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP Standard Plan) will allow you, for any reason, to provide written cancellation up to 24 hours prior to scheduled cruise or cruisetour departure and receive a refund equal to 80% of the eligible amounts paid (90% if you purchased our CPP Platinum Plan). In addition, Holland America Line (HAL) automatically assumes an additional US$500 of liability for lost, damaged or delayed baggage of passengers who purchase the CPP Standard Plan still subject, however, to the limitations in our baggage policies. For example, we do not cover losses while baggage is in the custody of airlines. Please review our Baggage Policy. The CPP Standard Plan is not insurance, is administered by Holland America Line Inc., and may not be available for purchase in some locations outside the U.S. and Canada; it provides no rights other than those explained above. For example, it does not protect double-triple-quad occupancy rates should one or more members of your party cancel, nor does it cover expenses or unused services due to trip interruption. CPP Platinum Plan
Our Platinum Cancellation Protection Plan (CPP Platinum Plan) enables you to supplement the CPP Standard Plan with enhanced cancellation protection as well as insurance coverage and travel assistance services . For a nominal additional fee, you will receive:
- Pre-departure trip cancellation You may cancel for any reason prior to the scheduled cruise/cruisetour departure and receive reimbursement equal to 90% of the eligible amounts paid to Holland America Line.
- Trip Interruption protection Covers the unused arrangements of your travel and additional traveling expenses to return home, up to 150% of the cruise/cruisetour cost for covered reasons.
- Trip Delay coverage Provides reimbursement for reasonable additional accommodations and traveling expenses if your trip is delayed for covered reasons, up to US$500.
- Baggage protection The Platinum Plan provides an additional $1,000 in coverage if your baggage is lost, stolen, or damaged while it is in Holland America Line’s custody and an additional $500 coverage if your baggage is delayed by a common carrier.
- Emergency medical expense You will be reimbursed up to US$10,000 in covered medical services incurred during your trip for any illness or injury first occurring during your trip. In addition, necessary expenses of up to US$50,000 for emergency medical evacuations and repatriations are covered. These are benefits that Medicare and many private insurance plans may not offer, and they are highly recommended for foreign travel.
- 24-Hour emergency hotline assistance Provides around-the-clock help worldwide assistance for legal or medical referrals, lost travel documents, cash transfer or passport assistance.
There are no pre-existing condition limitations in the CPP Platinum Plan! "IMPORTANT NOTE": This is a summary of coverage. Please refer to the Plan Description which contains the details of assistance services and insurance coverage, terms, conditions, exclusions and other applicable limitations. The CPP Platinum Plan is only available for U.S. and Canadian residents. The CPP Standard and CPP Platinum Plans are optional, must be paid at time of deposit and are non-refundable.
