Why Bermuda port fees are higher
Bermuda charges a head tax — a per-person fee for every cruise passenger entering the island. It runs $40–$80/person and is built into the port fees in your fare.

What to do with 2–3 days in Bermuda
Bermuda is small (21 square miles) but densely packed with things to do. With 2+ days, you can:
- Pink Sand Beach (Horseshoe Bay): The reason most people go — genuinely stunning
- Snorkeling at Church Bay or Tobacco Bay
- Crystal Caves: Impressive stalactite caves, $20/person
- Scooter rental: $55–$75/person/day — the classic Bermuda experience
- Hamilton: Pastel-colored British colonial shopping and food
Which cruise lines sail Bermuda?
Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, and Celebrity all run Bermuda itineraries from New York, New Jersey (Bayonne), and Boston. The sailings are 7 nights: 2 days at sea each way, 3 days in Bermuda.
The season runs May–October. April and November are available but cooler and windier.
Is a Bermuda cruise worth it?
Yes — for travelers who want to actually explore a destination (not just spend 8 hours in port). Bermuda is one of the few cruise destinations where staying on the ship during port days would genuinely be a mistake.
