Bermuda is found about 600 miles off the coast of North Carolina in the Atlantic Ocean. The even climate found in the small British territory will please anyone – the temperature during spring, summer and fall ranges from 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

There are eight major ports in the United States that offer cruises to Bermuda. Those ports are: Fort Lauderdale, Norfolk, Charleston, Boston, Philadelphia, Cape Liberty, New York and Baltimore. Most of the Bermuda cruises sailing from these ports are five or seven day vacations.

Bermuda hosts several regular callers in its ports every cruise season, which is April through November. The most frequent cruise lines to send ships are Carnival, Norwegian Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Princess and Celebrity so you will have plenty of cruises to choose from.

There are three ports to choose from in Bermuda, but only two are accessible by the largest cruise ships that now frequent the island. Kings Wharf and St. George are the two largest ports.

At the east end of the island is St. George’s, which is a 17th century seaport so it is smaller with fewer amenities, but more charm for those who seek it out. King’s Wharf at the west end has more activities like the Bermuda Maritime Museum.

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.

Consider taking a Bermuda cruise – it is one beautiful destination that is sure not to disappoint!
