Imagine a place where the ocean shimmers in impossible shades of turquoise, where the beaches blush with a soft, rosy hue, and where the gentle, hibiscus-scented breeze carries the promise of pure relaxation. This isn't a dream. This is Bermuda, the jewel of the Atlantic. And there is simply no better way to arrive at this island paradise than aboard a magnificent Royal Caribbean ship, your floating resort of world-class dining, thrilling entertainment, and unparalleled comfort.

For over two decades, I’ve sailed the world’s oceans, exploring the most coveted destinations for publications that demand the very best. Yet, the allure of Bermuda remains uniquely potent. It’s a sophisticated blend of British charm and vibrant island culture, a destination that invites both high adventure and serene repose. A Royal Caribbean cruise doesn't just take you to Bermuda; it elevates the entire experience, transforming a simple vacation into a seamless journey of discovery and indulgence. Forget the stress of booking flights, hotels, and transfers. Here, your only job is to unwind and embrace the magic.

• Unpack Once, Explore Fully: Your floating hotel takes you directly to the heart of Bermuda, docking for multiple days at the historic Royal Naval Dockyard, giving you ample time to immerse yourself in the island without the hassle of daily packing and unpacking.
• Incredible Value: Your cruise fare includes your accommodation, transportation between ports, a stunning variety of meals in multiple dining venues, and a dazzling array of onboard entertainment and activities. It’s a level of value that land-based vacations struggle to match.
• A Destination in Itself: The ship is a vibrant world of its own. From rock-climbing walls overlooking the sea to serene, adults-only sanctuaries, there's a space and an activity for every mood and every traveler.

Your Floating Resort: A Glimpse into Life Aboard

While several ships in the Royal Caribbean fleet make the voyage to Bermuda, let's step aboard a vessel like the magnificent Liberty of the Seas to paint a picture of the life that awaits. This Freedom-class ship is a masterpiece of design, offering a perfect balance of high-energy fun and sophisticated relaxation, making it an ideal companion for a Bermuda getaway.

Thrills for Every Age

The beauty of a Royal Caribbean cruise is its appeal to everyone, from solo travelers to multi-generational families. The top decks are a playground of epic proportions. You can challenge yourself on the iconic FlowRider® surf simulator, catch a wave in the middle of the ocean, or scale the rock-climbing wall for a panoramic view you won't find anywhere else. For a more laid-back afternoon, the ship boasts multiple pools, bubbling whirlpools, and even a mini-golf course for some friendly competition under the sun.

A Culinary Journey at Sea

Prepare your palate for an exploration of global flavors. Your cruise includes complimentary dining that is anything but standard. The grand Main Dining Room offers a multi-course menu that changes nightly, while the Windjammer Marketplace presents a seemingly endless buffet of international dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But for those special evenings, the specialty dining venues are a true revelation. Imagine savoring a perfectly cooked filet at Chops Grille℠, the line's signature steakhouse, or sharing authentic Italian pasta at Giovanni's Table. The culinary possibilities are as vast as the ocean itself.

Unwind and Recharge

When it's time to relax, the ship offers tranquil havens designed for serenity. The adults-only Solarium is a glass-canopied oasis with its own pool and lounge chairs, perfect for escaping with a good book. For ultimate rejuvenation, the Vitality℠ Spa offers a comprehensive menu of treatments, from deep-tissue massages to revitalizing facials. As evening falls, the ship comes alive with world-class entertainment. Take in a full-scale Broadway-style production at the main theater, try your luck at the Casino Royale℠, or enjoy live music at one of the many lounges.

The Jewel of the Atlantic: Your Bermuda Itinerary Unveiled

Most Royal Caribbean Bermuda cruises sail from convenient East Coast ports like Cape Liberty, New Jersey, or Baltimore, Maryland, making the start of your vacation incredibly easy. A typical itinerary allows for leisurely days at sea to fully enjoy the ship before arriving for an extended stay in Bermuda.

Days at Sea: Your Adventure Begins

These days are a gift. There's no rush, no schedule unless you want one. Wake up late and order room service to your balcony. Spend the day pool-hopping, join a trivia contest, or simply find a quiet deck chair and watch the endless blue horizon slip by. This is your time to disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones. The anticipation for Bermuda builds with each passing nautical mile.

Arrival at the Royal Naval Dockyard

Sailing into Bermuda is a moment you will never forget. The first glimpse of the island’s pastel-hued homes dotting the lush green hillsides against the backdrop of crystalline water is simply breathtaking. Your ship will dock at the Royal Naval Dockyard (also known as King's Wharf), a destination in itself. This former British naval base is now a beautifully restored complex of shops, museums, restaurants, and attractions. The best part? Royal Caribbean itineraries often include two or even three days docked here, giving you an incredible amount of time to explore without ever feeling rushed. Don't just dream about those pink sands. Plan Your Bermuda Adventure with our no-obligation planning service and let us help you choose the perfect itinerary.

Mastering Bermuda: Unforgettable Shoreside Experiences

With your ship as a comfortable and convenient home base, the entirety of Bermuda is at your fingertips. The island is small—just 21 square miles—and its efficient network of ferries and buses makes getting around a breeze.

The Legendary Pink Sand Beaches

You cannot talk about Bermuda without rhapsodizing about its beaches. The sand truly has a soft pink glow, a result of crushed coral and shells. The most famous of these is Horseshoe Bay Beach, a perfect crescent of rosy sand lapped by gentle turquoise waves. It's a must-see. But don't stop there. Nearby coves like Jobson's Cove offer more secluded, intimate spots perfect for snorkeling in calm, clear waters. Elbow Beach and Warwick Long Bay are other spectacular options worth exploring.

A Tale of Two Cities: Hamilton & St. George's

From the Dockyard, a scenic ferry ride will take you to Bermuda's two primary towns. Hamilton, the vibrant capital, is a hub of activity. Here you'll find high-end shops along Front Street, excellent restaurants, and a bustling harbor. In contrast, the Town of St. George, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a journey back in time. Wander its narrow, cobblestone alleys, admire the 17th-century architecture, and feel the rich history that permeates this charming, well-preserved colonial town.

Beyond the Beach: Island Adventures

Bermuda's beauty extends far beyond its coastline.

• Crystal & Fantasy Caves: Descend into a subterranean wonderland of stunning stalactites and stalagmites surrounding a crystal-clear underground lake. It’s an otherworldly experience.
• Gibbs Hill Lighthouse: Climb the 185 steps of one of the oldest cast-iron lighthouses in the world for an unparalleled 360-degree view of the island and the surrounding reef system.
• Snorkeling and Diving: The clear waters and protective reefs make Bermuda a paradise for underwater exploration. Tobacco Bay Beach is a fantastic, easily accessible spot for snorkeling right from the shore.
• Taste the Local Flavor: You must try two Bermudian classics: a Dark 'n Stormy® cocktail (made with local Gosling's Black Seal Rum) and a bowl of fish chowder, seasoned at the table with sherry peppers and more dark rum.

Planning the perfect combination of shore excursions can feel daunting. Our Bermuda specialists are on hand to help you craft the ideal island experience, from booking snorkeling trips to reserving a scooter. Give them a call at 1 (888) 883‑0460 for personalized advice and insider tips.

Frequently Asked Questions about a Royal Caribbean Bermuda Cruise

What is the best time of year to cruise to Bermuda?

The peak season for Bermuda cruises is from April to October when the weather is warmest and ideal for swimming and water sports. The shoulder months of April, May, and October offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds. The summer months of June through August are the hottest and most popular.

What should I pack for a Bermuda cruise?

Pack lightweight resort wear: swimsuits, cover-ups, shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Include a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. For evenings on the ship, you'll want "smart casual" attire (slacks, polo shirts, skirts, blouses) and perhaps one or two more formal outfits for specialty dining or formal nights, depending on your preference.

Is Bermuda a good destination for families?

Absolutely. Bermuda is incredibly safe, clean, and welcoming. The calm, shallow waters of many beaches are perfect for children. Combined with the endless family-friendly activities on a Royal Caribbean ship, like the Adventure Ocean® youth program, it makes for an unforgettable multi-generational vacation.

Do I need a passport for a Bermuda cruise from the US?

For "closed-loop" cruises (those that start and end in the same US port), US citizens can technically travel with a government-issued photo ID and an original birth certificate. However, we strongly recommend all travelers carry a valid passport. It is the most reliable and universally accepted form of identification and is essential if you were to need to fly home unexpectedly from a foreign port.
