Bermuda cruises

Sail Sunday, swim Horseshoe Bay Tuesday, and the ship stays three nights.

Bermuda is the cruise you can drive to: 7 nights round trip from New York, Cape Liberty, Boston or Baltimore, two easy sea days each way and two or three nights tied up at King’s Wharf so the island is yours after dark. Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Carnival and Princess all sail it from April to October. SmartCruiser shows every Bermuda sailing with taxes and fees included and puts the ones with SmartCruiser bonus onboard credit at the top.

Three ways to do Bermuda

Pick one and the list below filters to it. Same island, different ship, different drive to the pier.

Easiest

From Manhattan

  • Norwegian and Carnival from the West Side piers, 7 nights, no flight for the tri-state area
  • Sail under the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge on the way out, the skyline on the way back
  • The most Bermuda sailings of any port, April to October

Best for: first cruises, multi-generation groups, anyone who hates airports

Biggest ships

From Cape Liberty, Bayonne

  • Royal Caribbean and Celebrity, with the newest hardware on the route
  • 5 to 8 nights, so there is a length for every schedule
  • Cruise parking at the terminal; 20 minutes from Manhattan by car or light rail

Best for: families who want the water slides, couples who want Celebrity’s food

Long weekend

Under 7 nights

  • 4 to 6 night Bermuda runs from New York, Baltimore and Cape Liberty
  • One full day and an overnight on the island instead of three
  • The lowest Bermuda fares of the season are usually here

Best for: a first taste, a birthday weekend, using fewer vacation days

When to go

Bermuda sits 650 miles off the Carolinas, warmer than New York and cooler than the Caribbean. April to October is the season.

April to MayThe first ships arrive; 70s on land, the sea still cool for swimming. The lowest fares and the Dockyard to yourself.
June to AugustWater in the 80s, long evenings at Horseshoe Bay, every ship running. Peak fares and the most families.
September to OctoberStill 80 degrees in the water, half the crowds, the best fares of the warm months. Watch the hurricane forecast; ships reroute rather than cancel.
November to MarchAlmost nothing sails; Bermuda is 65 degrees and the ships are in the Caribbean. The odd transatlantic or repositioning cruise stops by.
Good to know

Bermuda cruise questions we answer every day

Do I need a passport for a Bermuda cruise?

If the cruise sails round trip from a US port, US citizens can travel with a government-issued photo ID plus an original or certified birth certificate. We still recommend a passport: if you have to fly home from Bermuda for any reason, you need one. Everyone else needs a passport, and some nationalities need a Bermuda visa.

How long is the ship actually in Bermuda?

Most 7-night sailings arrive Tuesday or Wednesday morning and leave Thursday or Friday afternoon: two or three nights tied up at King’s Wharf in the Royal Naval Dockyard. You can come and go, stay out for dinner and come back late. Shorter 4 to 6 night runs give you one full day and an overnight.

Where does the ship dock, and how do I get around?

At King’s Wharf on the west tip of the island. The fast ferry to Hamilton is 20 minutes and to St. George’s about 45; buses and taxis are plentiful; visitors cannot rent cars, but two-seat electric minicars and scooters are everywhere. A transportation pass covers ferries and buses for the days you are there.

Which beach should I go to?

Horseshoe Bay is the famous pink one, 15 minutes by bus or taxi from the ship. Walk east along the sand to Chaplin Bay and Warwick Long Bay and the crowd thins out fast. Snorkel Park is a short walk from the ship and fine for an hour with kids.

Are taxes and fees included in the prices here?

Yes. Every price on this page includes cruise fare, taxes, fees and port expenses. Gratuities, drinks packages, excursions and parking are extra, and we tell you the total before you book.

What do the SmartCruiser picks mean?

They are sailings where booking through SmartCruiser gets you something you do not get booking direct: instant savings, bonus onboard credit, a Special SmartCruiser rate we hold on that sailing, or a senior, resident or police & fire fare that beats the best public price.
