McTavish Travel Holland America Line is returning to the pink sand and pastel-coloured skyline of Bermuda on seven-day cruises aboard ms Veendam. Sailing roundtrip from Boston, six departures will sail in May, June and July 2015 and feature three days and nights in Hamilton, Bermuda's capital known for its gorgeous beaches and abundance of golf courses. Carrying just 1,350 guests, Veendam offers an ideal mid-size ship experience in Bermuda that enables the vessel to dock in the small harbour in Hamilton in the centre of town. The seven-day voyages spend a day at sea after departing Boston and arrive in Hamilton mid-day with enough time for guests to go ashore and enjoy the town. The ship then spends three nights in downtown where guests can experience local nightlife and dine ashore, if desired. Veendam departs Bermuda in the afternoon of the final day in Hamilton, with a day at sea before arriving back in Boston. The seven-day Bermuda itinerary can be combined with a seven-day Canada/New England cruise to create a 14-day Bermuda & Canada/ New England Collector's Voyage. The full Collector's cruise calls at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island; Sydney and Halifax, Nova Scotia and Bar Harbor, Maine; Boston and Bermuda, with scenic cruising in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. hollandamerica.com HAL to Bermuda Though not taken into consideration when booking a cruise, onboard marinas can greatly improve your next voyage - particularly for active travellers who love the water. Depending on the ship's marina type, where you are sailing, the sea and weather conditions, you will be able to swim, snorkel, or take out watercraft like kayaks, sailboats, pedal boats and WaveRunners. Enjoying these activities from the comfort of your own ship is an extraordinary experience, not to mention extremely convenient. Here are the cruise lines and ships that offer onboard marinas. Seabourn ­ Seabourn's trio of 450-passenger ships ­ Odyssey, Quest and Sojourn (as well as the smaller Spirit and Legend which will soon transfer to Windstar's fleet) offer an aft marina, where on designated sea days guests can head to the marina to lounge on the deck, swim in a specially fabricated pool, or take out watercraft. Paul Gauguin Cruises ­ French Polynesia is one of the best destinations in the world for watersports and the Paul Gauguin offers kayaks, windsurfers, and optional dive or snorkel excursions. The ship has a dive team and offers PADI certification. SeaDream Yacht Club ­ both SeaDream I and SeaDream II offer high-speed personal watercraft, glass-bottom kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and laser sailboats.
