Bermuda Cruises

From naval history to pretty country villages, hiking trails, and pink sand beaches, there are endless things to do during your time in Bermuda. Our itineraries spend two nights docked here, so you’ll have plenty of time to explore.

One of the best things to do is to snorkel over the coral reefs and multiple wrecks that surround the island. There are some fascinating museums, too; the National Museum of Bermuda, located in a fort at the Royal Naval Dockyard, takes you through 400 years of history. Historic St. George’s is a UNESCO World Heritage Site just 45 minutes from the port by ferry, with narrow cobblestone lanes, colorful old homes, and quaint churches.

If you’re an active traveler, there’s all manner of watersports to try, as well as world-class golf, and cycling or hiking the historic 18-mile Railway Trail. Explore the Crystal and Fantasy Caves, where you’ll see dramatic stalagmites and stalactites and a shimmering underground lake.

There’s also excellent craft shopping in Bermuda, much of it within Royal Naval Dockyard.

Look out for rum, rum cake, spicy pepper sauces, ceramics, linen, locally made fragrances, cedarwood items, and the famous Bermuda shorts. 

Bermuda’s peak season is from May to October, with July and August the warmest and sunniest months. May has the lowest rainfall. Just outside of the high season, you should still enjoy pleasant weather. Months with lower humidity, particularly April, make exploring easy.

Round-trip cruises from Cape Liberty to Bermuda are known as “closed-loop cruises” for which U.S. citizens do not require a passport.

According to U.S. Customs & Border Protection, acceptable forms of identity include an Enhanced Driver’s License, which is a state-issued driver’s license that provides proof of identity and U.S. citizenship; a government-issued birth certificate (issued by the Vital Records Department in the state where the person was born) or passport; and if 16 or older, a government-issued driver’s license or picture ID denoting photo, name, and date of birth.

For transatlantic cruises that call at Bermuda, all visitors will need a valid passport.

The sailing time between Cape Liberty and Bermuda’s Royal Naval Dockyard is two days, during which you’ll have plenty of opportunity to relax and enjoy the many amenities of the ship. On the return journey, you’ll have one day and two nights at sea.

On a westbound Transatlantic cruise, you’ll have four days at sea between the Azores and Bermuda. On an eastbound voyage, you’ll leave Tampa and arrive in Bermuda after three days at sea. If you depart from Fort Lauderdale, there will be two days at sea before reaching the island.

Bermuda is located in the Atlantic Ocean, a long way north of the Caribbean, and enjoys a temperate, subtropical climate. In other words, you can expect summers to be warm and sunny, with temperatures around the mid-80s, and high humidity. 

May to October is considered the high season, with April and November bringing slightly cooler but still pleasant weather. Expect average highs of 68°F in April and 72°F in November. 

Bermuda’s currency is the Bermuda Dollar, which is tied to the U.S. Dollar. You can use U.S. dollars in most places on the island, although you may be given change in Bermuda dollars.

Celebrity itineraries feature extended overnight access; our ships remain docked at the Royal Naval Dockyard for two nights and three days. This allows guests ample opportunity to experience local beaches, dining, and nightlife at a relaxed pace across multiple days without ever having to rush back on board.
