Bermuda cruise
port rankings

Based on visitor appeal..

St George

Its quaint old town area has narrow streets, small shops, and understated signage. The dusk-time Candlelight Walking Tour is fun and educational.

Hamilton

This city is Bermuda's capital and commercial center. Hamilton also boasts the island's best dining and shopping.

King's Wharf

It's by far the least interesting of the cruise ports. And it's located far from Bermuda's major tourism attractions, the ones you came to see and experience.

When to go on a
Bermuda cruise

The season runs from mid-April to mid-October. Some periods are better than others.

April  - It can be nippy.

May  - The best overall month. Flowers bloom everywhere. And it's the traditional month for honeymooning.

Early June  - Come now if you want to avoid the summer-long family-tourism scene.

Mid-June through August  - Peak visitor season. Crowds.

September  - Days grow shorter and a bid colder.

October  - Too cold for those seeking an "island vacation".

Also factor in hurricanes (see next item).

hurricane season

Mid-June to late November.
This is the unofficial full season

August to October
This is the peak (worst) period.

Bear in mind that if a hurricane hits or comes close to the island, your cruise ship's itinerary could be altered at the last moment. For example, your ship would visit New England and Canadian Maritime Province ports instead of Bermuda. Even if your boat could sail to this island, you would likely experience rough seas in the crossing.
