Getting to Bermuda by boat

The traditional port is the City of Hamilton, the capital, and the most commercial area on the island.

Many ships and private yachts anchor at the Town of St George, where visitors can walk off the vessel into charming narrow lanes with 17th-century buildings and small boutiques.

Cruise ships:

Several cruise lines depart to Bermuda from US ports. Cruises operate in the summer months, between April and October, and suspend services during the winter.

Ferry operators:

The West End, Bermuda's third port of call, is becoming trendy; its Royal Naval Dockyard, which was the British Royal Navy's headquarters until 1995, has been beautifully restored as a mini-village.
