Bermuda & The Bahamas

Lighthouses, lobsters and long stretches of beach are synonymous with Portland, Maine, but the city has much more to offer: Victorian architecture, craft breweries, a thriving arts scene and world-class cuisine. At this time of year, the east coast’s famous fall foliage is everywhere, so it will be impossible to miss the brilliant red, orange and yellow trees. A world of wonder awaits as you step on board Scenic Eclipse and raise your glass to toast the start of your luxurious cruise. Please book your flight to arrive into Portland prior to 02:00 PM.

Acquaint yourself with the exceptional range of facilities on board our ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht. Choose a class in one of the fitness spaces, relax in a therapy lounge in the spa, or tempt your palate from one of the dining venues. (B/L/D)

Hamilton is the beating heart of Bermuda. Blending local flavour with global sophistication, experience the great harbour views and the energetic, cosmopolitan vibe. When the city of Hamilton was founded in 1788 by Sir Henry Hamilton, he wanted to create a central hub that is relatively close to all on the Island. This accounts for the motto, ‘Sparsa Collegit’, translation of which is ‘brought together the scattered’. Walk around the pastel-coloured façade.
