Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a passport for a Bermuda cruise?
A passport is strongly recommended for all Bermuda cruises, even if some round-trip sailings from the U.S. may technically allow other approved documents. Having a passport makes travel much easier if your plans change unexpectedly or you need to fly home from Bermuda.
When is the best time to cruise to Bermuda?
Bermuda cruises are most popular from May through October, when the weather is warm enough for swimming and beach days. Late spring and early fall often offer a great balance of pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds.
Why are Bermuda cruises different from Caribbean cruises?
Unlike most Caribbean itineraries, many Bermuda cruises stay docked for 2–3 days, giving you plenty of time to explore the island instead of rushing back to the ship. You can enjoy the beaches, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife at your own pace.
What currency is used in Bermuda?
Bermuda uses the Bermudian Dollar (BMD), which is equal in value to the U.S. Dollar. U.S. currency is widely accepted throughout the island, so most visitors don't need to exchange money.

Can I use my cell phone in Bermuda?
Most U.S. cell phones will work in Bermuda, but international roaming charges may apply depending on your carrier. Check with your provider before you travel or consider using Wi-Fi while on the island.
What should I pack for a Bermuda cruise?
Pack lightweight clothing, comfortable walking shoes, a swimsuit, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and a light sweater for cooler evenings. Don't forget your passport, medications, chargers, and any travel documents.
Can I visit Horseshoe Bay Beach on my own?
Absolutely! Horseshoe Bay is one of Bermuda's most famous beaches and is easy to reach by taxi, shuttle, or public bus from the Royal Naval Dockyard. Visiting independently can often be less expensive than booking a ship-sponsored excursion.
How do I get around Bermuda?
Taxis, ferries, and public buses make it easy to explore the island. Bermuda does not allow rental cars for visitors, but electric mini-cars and scooters are available if you'd like more independence.
Which cruise lines sail to Bermuda?

Why do you recommend Bermuda?
I've visited Bermuda twice, and what keeps bringing me back is how different it feels from a typical cruise stop.
