Bermuda Flag and Outline Map
Most cruises to Bermuda are a combination of several days at sea and several days on the island. The island can be explored via moped or scooter; golf, sunbathing, and snorkeling, as well as boat tours, dining, and shopping are common activities for cruise-goers.
Cruises to Bermuda occur on a seasonal, rather than a year-round, basis. This schedule coincides with Bermuda's "high season," which stretches from April to October. Bermuda is located 1,200 miles north of the Caribbean, resulting in a cooler winter climate. The busy cruise period coincides with the Atlantic hurricane season, so an itinerary could be impacted if a storm blows in.
Ships depart from East Coast cities such as Boston, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Norfolk; they dock at the City of Hamilton, town of St. George, or The Royal Naval Dockyard in Sandys Parish. Large ships usually anchor near the Hamilton Harbour, and some ships will visit two city ports.
