Explore Cruises to Bermuda

Bermuda possesses all of the stunning attributes of a tropical paradise, with a unique mix of travel experiences. You’ll experience island vibes, British charm, a temperate climate, palm trees, impossibly blue water—and it’s an easy island getaway for anyone who lives on the East Coast. In fact, one of the most popular departure ports for a Bermuda cruise is Cape Liberty in New Jersey, just across the river from New York City. 

From relaxing on a pink sand beach to diving over one of the many shipwrecks to hiking through a jungle, there is something for everyone. You can descend into the incredible Crystal Caves, viewing the natural stalactites and stalagmites. Bermuda's museums and art galleries add touches of urban sophistication. Its well-preserved forts surround you with its history. And, its natural island beauty makes it ideal for water sports, hiking, golfing, or just lazing on a picture-perfect beach. Our 7- and 10-night Bermuda cruise itineraries offer two overnights in Royal Naval Dockyard, so you have enough time to do it all. 

Plus, starting in 2020, all of our Bermuda sailings will visit stunning Newport, Rhode Island, famous for its historic mansions of the Gilded Age and dramatic seaside cliffs. And, on our 10-night sailings, you’ll also enjoy an overnight stay in Charleston, South Carolina, a city that’s equal parts southern charm and cosmopolitan excitement.

Natural Beauty

And on our 10-night sailings visiting Charleston, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the coastal marshlands.

Wildlife

Be awed by the magical spectacle of the bioluminescent waters off Bermuda a few days after each full moon, or snorkel by day to swim alongside colorful reef fish. As if that weren’t enough, you can get up-close and personal with whales off the coast of Newport. And you’ll discover Charleston’s majestic dolphins and seabirds. 

History

Bermuda is surrounded by beautiful reefs, which account for its history—and its well-earned reputation as a spectacular dive site. In 1609, the flagship of Admiral Sir George Somers was wrecked on these reefs while en route to the colony at Jamestown, Virginia. The crew then built two small ships and headed on to the American colony, but three sailors hid out and remained on the island. They were Bermuda's first European settlers. Not only can you can visit these historic sites, you’ll also discover the enchanting mansions of the Gilded Age in Newport, and visit the island of Fort Sumter in Charleston on our 10-night sailings.
