DAY 1
On The Water
Catamaran Cruise
Launch into the lap of birthday luxury with a catamaran cruise or rent a boat for a solo sail on the seas.
Enjoy your day on a Zara or ÜberVida 77-foot yacht, sailing the coastline with friends. Dive in for a refreshing dip, grab snorkels for a peek below the surface, or paddleboard in a secluded cove. End the day with a sunset dinner prepared by the onboard chef. With its fully stocked bar, captain, and crew, this dreamy catamaran experience is the ultimate way to start your trip on a high note.
Are you feeling up for a solo ride? Rent a boat or charter from Pompano Beach Club, Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, or Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa, and explore the waters. Cast your line and fish in the open sea or admire the beautiful clear blue at the Blue Waters Anglers Club. There is no better way to reflect on another year around the sun.
DAY 2
Feeling Artsy?
Art Walk
Explore the extensive art scene and plan a day of brilliant art and reflection with some of Bermuda’s finest collections.
Stop by the City Hall & Arts Centre and explore contemporary art at the Bermuda National Gallery. Take in breathtaking exhibits like From Darkness to Light with portraits by Henry Ward or learn about the life of Richard Clive Saunders in the exhibit A Personal Perspective.
Pass through Bermuda’s oldest limestone moongate at Queen Elizabeth Park where the footpaths reveal stunning sculptures and greenery. Passing through this oasis will bring you luck with friendships and experiences as you embark on another year.
Complete the day by strolling the Botanical Gardens and into the on-site Masterworks Museum. With over 1,500 works to explore, this museum houses an incredible curation of paintings, sculptures, drawings, and more from Andrew Wyeth to Winslow Homer. This day is bound to be an art lover’s birthday dream filled with boundless scopes of emotions and awe.

Artists you’ll encounter include the mother/daughter artistic duo Charmaine Friday and Alshanté Foggo, and Ryan Hooper.
A Chill Evening
There is always room for dessert, and nothing is better than sunset ice cream at Bailey’s Bay Ice Cream Parlour in Hamilton Parish. Choose from one of 30 incredible homemade flavours including Bermuda classics like rum raisin.
