Bermuda cruises will take you this warm island paradise. Its location in the Atlantic Ocean creates the mild temperatures in the spring through the fall. Pack all of your essential beach gear to enjoy the beautiful weather.
In order to get to Bermuda from the USA, there are several departure ports you can choose from. They are: Philadelphia, New York, Cape Liberty (NJ), Norfolk (VA), Baltimore, Charleston, Fort Lauderdale, and Boston. There are many options for five or seven day cruises from these ports.
Many of the cruise ships will visit Bermuda over 20 times in one cruise season, which lasts from April to November in Bermuda. Your choices for cruise lines are Royal Caribbean, Princess, Norwegian Cruises, Carnival and Celebrity. There are other smaller lines that do travel to Bermuda but not as frequently.
In Bermuda, there are three major ports, but only two are large enough for the biggest cruise ships to anchor in. Therefore, most cruisers will dock either at Kings Wharf (West End) or St. George’s (East End).
Kings Wharf is located on the west end of Bermuda. At this port you will find activities such as the Royal Naval Dockyard and the Bermuda Maritime Museum. On the east end of Bermuda is St. George’s, which is smaller and quainter.
Since Bermuda is quite small, tourists cannot rent cars to get around. You can travel the length of the island on rented scooters or use one of the public buses. You can purchase day passes for public transportation once you arrive in port or you can pay per ride. There are also ferries available to shuttle you around Bermuda.
Cruise to Bermuda for the beautiful scenery and friendly people. You will not be disappointed in your Bermuda cruise vacation.
