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.
- In the marina, visitors may rent boats, take parasailing excursions or dive in and go snorkeling.
-
Special events are frequently staged in the Dockyard as well. Or you may choose to embark on a foot-tour through this historic land.
