Veendam to return to Bermuda in 2011

Holland America Line has announced it will offer 24 seven-day cruises to Bermuda next year.

The company’s Veendam liner will begin visiting the island from May until October in 2011, calling at St. George’s for one night and Hamilton for two.

The 1,350-guest ship departs from New York and resumed regular visits here this year after more than 25 years. Richard D. Meadows, executive vice president of marketing, sales and guest programmes, said: “Bermuda offers an outstanding warm weather vacation, with pristine beaches, cultural charm, world-class shopping and golf.”
