Seeing Bermuda in One Day from a Cruise Ship
If you’re visiting Bermuda by cruise ship, one of the best ways to make the most of your day is to venture beyond the busy Dockyard area and explore the East End of the island.
During the cruise season, Norwegian Cruise Line’s private tender and the public ferry from Dockyard make it relatively easy for cruise passengers to reach St. George’s. The East End is home to Bermuda’s oldest forts, some of its most fascinating historic landmarks, the UNESCO World Heritage Town of St. George’s and beautiful beaches that are often far less crowded than those closer to the main visitor areas.
The key is planning your day around your ship’s departure time and allowing sufficient time for transportation. Coordinating your outing with an experienced local tour company can help you create a realistic itinerary, make the best use of your time ashore and discover places that many cruise passengers never get to see.
A reputable tour operator will ask for your ship’s departure time when you book and plan the experience accordingly, adjusting the itinerary when necessary to ensure you return to Dockyard with plenty of time to reboard your ship.
