A round-tip cruise to Bermuda for $50? You must be kidding ... or we're back in 1938. Sorry folks -- it's the latter.

Bermuda news website Bernews posted this article about a travel brochure from 1938 that "urges vacationers to make their way to the island promises cruises that are the 'smart thrifty way to Bermuda,' with round trip tickets starting at only $50. The brochure, which details passage aboard the Eastern Steamship Lines’ Acadia, offers regular round-trip fare of $50, a ‘Live Ashore in Bermuda Plan’ for $58, a six day cruise for $60, a seven day cruise for $67.50, and an eight day cruise for $75, with 'living aboard ship in Bermuda' covered in the respective prices."

With Norwegian Breakaway launching in May, Norwegian Cruise Line has expanded its tour offerings in Bermuda. They have added several new excursions only available on Breakaway, and  a number of excursions for guests on both Breakaway and Norwegian Dawn, sailing from Boston to Bermuda. Guests can go reef fishing at night, bike the original Bermuda railway trail or go at their own pace with a private boat tour. -- Gerry
