About Royal Naval Dockyard

Bermuda's cruise ships dock at the Royal Naval Dockyard, a restored 19th-century British fortress at the island's West End, now full of shops, a museum, and a craft market. Bermuda isn't the Caribbean — it's a mid-Atlantic island of pink-sand beaches, turquoise reefs, and pastel towns, with cheap ferries linking the Dockyard to Hamilton and the UNESCO old town of St. George. Ships often stay two or three days, so there's time for it all.

💡
Insider Tip

Use the ferries — they're cheap, scenic, and far better value than taxis for reaching Hamilton or St. George. With an overnight in port, save a sunset for the pink sand at Horseshoe Bay and a Dark 'n' Stormy.
