In anticipation of the arrival of its newest ship, Norwegian
Breakaway, launching this May, Norwegian Cruise Line has expanded its
tour offerings in Bermuda. The line has added several new excursions
that are available only to guests on Norwegian Breakaway, as well as a
number of excursions for guests on both Norwegian Breakaway and
Norwegian Dawn, sailing from Boston to Bermuda. The new tour options
add to Norwegian’s extensive shore excursion program, which offers
guests more than 30 unique Bermuda excursions.
Guests can go reef fishing at night, bike the original Bermuda
railway trail and explore the spectacular scenery by paddleboard with
the new 2013 Bermuda shore excursions. Norwegian Breakaway guests will
also have the opportunity to experience several excursions exclusive
to the ship, including the opportunity to explore Bermuda’s natural
beauty and hidden treasures in a more personalized setting and at their
own pace with a private boat tour.
“Bermuda is one of my favorite destinations and is such a fun and
beautiful place to visit,” said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise Line’s
Chief Executive Officer. “These new Bermuda shore excursions are sure
to complement the exciting features and amenities our guests can
experience onboard Norwegian Breakaway and enhance their cruise
vacation on this spectacular island.”
The new 4,000-passenger Norwegian Breakaway will sail a series of 22
seven-day cruises from New York to Bermuda beginning May 12, 2013
through Oct 6, 2013. Departing on Sundays, the ship will spend three
full days in Bermuda, along with three days at sea.

First, enjoy sight-seeing the rural West End of the island during a
short shuttle to Somerset Island. After receiving instruction on riding
and safety, explorers will begin their guided cycle tour along the

century Mott Family estate. After the ride, riders can cool off with a

complimentary beverage.
Night FishingFor an
evening of unforgettable adventure, guests can head out on the “Jolly
Roger,” Bermuda’s family-friendly fishing adventure boat, and enjoy
night fishing on the island’s barrier reef. Once onboard, anglers will
enjoy a sunset ride through Bermuda’s pristine inshore waters to reach
the fishing grounds. They’ll be provided with light spinning tackle,
bait and any instruction they may need to hook into some snappers,
triggerfish, jacks or any other of the countless species of nocturnal
reef dwellers that abound Bermuda’s waters. The only thing needed for
this excursion is some enthusiasm and a little luck -- the captain and
crew will take care of the rest for a memorable and exciting trip.
