More about our weather

We realize that cruise visitors may need to consider proximity to port when planning a trip to our island. To help you make the most of your time, we have compiled a list of suggested activities for your visit. Enjoy!

View our activity guide for cruise visitors

Cruising to our island entails an all-inclusive package with transportation, meals and lodging, plus ample opportunities to enjoy our charming oasis.

And each port of call reveals a different side of our small but eclectic archipelago. All offer local cuisine, unique attractions and our distinctive island charm.

City of Hamilton


Our capital city is the traditional port for cruise visitors.
  • Our island's quaintest shops can be found in the pastel-painted storefronts throughout this charming city 

  • Shop for Irish linens, shipwreck jewellery, local art, crystal and antiques. Bermuda shorts, of course, are a perennially hot item 

  • In the evening after the shops close, Hamilton's pubs, lounges and bars come alive. Whether you are a fan of jazz music, classic rock or a tall pint, you will surely end your evening on a high note here

Town of St. George


When you walk off your cruise ship into the Town of St. George, you enter a charming town of 17th-century buildings, narrow lanes and small boutiques.

  • Steeped in history, this is the oldest continuously inhabited town of English origin in the New World 

  • The buildings here are not dusty relics, but thriving structures where people live and work

Sign up for a tour through our charming, winding lanes, past the stair-stepped, white roofs that Mark Twain described as "icing on a cake."

West End/Royal Naval Dockyard


The West End, our third port of call, is fast becoming the preferred place to be. Its Royal Naval Dockyard - an erstwhile shipyard that was the British Royal Navy's headquarters until 1995 - has been beautifully restored as a mini-village with shops, restaurants, a maritime museum, an art gallery and a crafts market.

Head to our scenic shores on one of these cruise ships departing weekly from New York, Boston and other ports.
