If you enjoy cruising and are looking for a new destination to explore, then plan a Bermuda cruise. World famous pink sand beaches and crystal blue oceans await. From fishing to snorkeling and scuba to world-class shopping and museums, there is something for everyone on this small subtropical island.

If you like to golf, there are plenty of golf courses to choose from, all with gorgeous views. If you would rather enjoy the day at historic sites, Bermuda has the port of St. George's to offer. A 17th century port, cobblestone streets still pave the way and the town is also designated as a World Heritage Site. The capital city of Hamilton is in the center of the island and is the home for great shopping and restaurants.

Bermuda cruises will take you this warm island paradise. Its location in the Atlantic Ocean creates the mild temperatures in the spring through the fall. Pack all of your essential beach gear to enjoy the beautiful weather.

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.

The ports of call are Kings Wharf (West End), St. Georges and Hamilton. Hamilton is reserved for smaller ships because it is not deep enough to accommodate modern cruise ships. So you will need to decide between Kings Wharf on the west end of the island and St. Georges, on the east end of the island.

Kings Wharf is located on the west end of Bermuda. At this port you will find activities such as the Royal Naval Dockyard and the Bermuda Maritime Museum. On the east end of Bermuda is St. George's, which is smaller and quainter.

There is no need to worry about missing out on either port - Bermuda is only 21 miles long so it is easy to travel between them to check out all the sites. In Bermuda there are no rental cars to so you can take public buses, ferries or even rent scooters to get around the island.

Cruise to Bermuda for the beautiful scenery and friendly people. You will not be disappointed in your Bermuda cruise vacation.
