America's Cup - Latest update on accommodation and Celebrity Cruise

by Mondo Travel on 25 Mar 2017 Bermuda is almost sold out for the Americas Cup Finals Series, demand for rooms; berths on the Catamarans has been strong plus the J Class and Superyacht crews who have added to the numbers.

Accommodation is expensive with the cheapest resort costing around $600 a day per person.
