Why choose a cruise to Bermuda?

A Bermuda cruise blends easy logistics with generous time ashore: many itineraries include one or more full days/nights in port, so you can enjoy beaches, museums, and restaurants without watching the clock. The cruise season generally runs from April to November, with peak demand from late spring through late summer.

Main routes and departure ports

To explore Bermuda, you’ll find many cruises departing New York (often 5 to 7 nights), docking at the Royal Naval Dockyard and, depending on the line, offering two full days on the island. Norwegian Cruise Line regularly sails from New York (e.g., Norwegian Joy, Norwegian Prima), and Virgin Voyages schedules 5- and 6-night cruises as well as longer loops that combine Bermuda and the Caribbean.

You’ll also find Royal Caribbean cruises from Baltimore or Cape Liberty in New York (5- and 9-night options, sometimes with an overnight in Bermuda and an extension to Perfect Day at CocoCay, the line’s private island in the Bahamas), and, more occasionally, cruises departing Philadelphia.

The majority of ships berth at the Royal Naval Dockyard (King’s Wharf/Heritage Wharf), with quick ferry links to Hamilton and, in summer, St. George’s (about 15–20 minutes to Hamilton).
