Cruising around the world to exotic locations, on giant ocean liners, can be the most exciting vacation you'll ever experience. But it may surprise you that you don't necessarily have to travel too far, because a perfect Bermuda cruise can spirit you away to crystal clear tropical waters and spectacular pink sandy beaches, and all this only six hundred miles off the coast of South Carolina.

However, the ideal cruise for young singles out for a good time, would likely be considered horrifying to families who are traveling with young children. On the other hand, the taste of retired seniors may lean towards a more relaxed atmosphere with craft classes and shuffleboard, whereas couples who are going on their honeymoon to Bermuda would very likely consider this type of cruise to be anything but romantic.

I am going to be examining a number of the more important aspects that make up the ideal Bermuda cruise, as well as the essential elements that will make sure that every group has the most pleasant experience.

For instance, singles traveling alone will undoubtedly consider the perfect Bermuda cruise to involve lots of late night partying. Well most ships have about five or six different bars and lounges, but one Bermuda cruise features an amazing S-I-X-T-E-E-N bars and lounges. Holy Guacamole! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know which ship would be more fun for the singles set.

And it's exactly the same when it comes to swimming pools. A number of ships only have one swimming pool, but it's really clear that the singles crowd will have a much better time and a far greater selection of potential partners on one of the two Bermuda cruise ships that contain four swimming pools. There's sure to be a lot more poolside action on those babies.

But for families, what an ideal Bermuda cruise should be like is quite different. For instance, in the evening most parents will expect to be able to leave their kids with a babysitter. It's assumed that the cruise line will supply this service. Unfortunately for some unhappy travelers, this is not the case with one of the Bermuda cruise lines. A parent of young children would find it less than ideal to be on one of their ships.

Teens can also have a hard time being stuck with their parents all of the time, so it's pretty perfect that a handful of the cruise lines offer 'Bermuda Teen Shore Excursions' so the wild ones can go off on their own for a while. If you're a parent you need to make sure you're booked on one of those ships.

Most seniors' idea of the perfect Bermuda cruise is, not surprisingly, entirely different than those above. Seniors tend to prefer things at a more sedate and leisurely pace.

But not all of the so called cultural enrichment classes that are offered to seniors are as perfect as they are touted to be. They don't all cover such interesting things as wine tasting, digital photography, foreign languages, oil painting and archeology. In fact, some Bermuda cruise ships don't have any classes at all and just settle for backgammon and shuffleboard. That doesn't seem too perfect to me.

Any senior that's a golf fan will be happy to note that a number of cruises have hired a golf pro. They also have simulator software that videotapes your swing and offers advice on improvements. One of the cruise lines also has an all-hours driving range. But you need to know that some cruise companies don't offer any golf related amenities.

There are very few things in this world more romantic than cruising into the sunset in the arms of your lover on an luxurious Bermuda cruise. In fact, not surprisingly, Modern Bride magazine was so impressed with Bermuda that they selected it as one of the top vacation destinations for honeymooners and newlyweds.

If you happen to be looking for a perfect honeymoon you're going to want to make sure you are on the couple of ships that offer 'in-cabin' spa treatments, a dozen roses rather than a single puny long stem, and this is the clincher, a personal invite from the captain to tour the bridge. Now those kinds of little touches could make a Bermuda honeymoon or a wedding cruise extra perfect, don't you think?

I have attempted to indicate a handful of the more important ingredients, that if included, can go a long way to make sure you have a wonderful vacation; one that is tailor made to meet your idea of the perfect Bermuda cruise.

It is painfully clear that each of the cruise lines, and in fact each of the different ships have decided to cater to very different groups of vacationers. Naturally I can't cover all of the things to be aware of in this brief article, but if you want more information, particularly the names of the specific ships I mentioned above, then please visit me at the website mentioned below and you will be certain to find the perfect Bermuda cruise for you.
