Bermuda Cruises

Tabs view cruises.

• View Cruises

Shaped by British, Portuguese, West Indian, and African cultures, Bermuda is fringed by teeming coral reefs and the almost impossibly turquoise waters of the Sargasso Sea, due east of South Carolina. This sub-tropical paradise, which blends history with a contemporary and very inviting way of life, is an easy escape from the East Coast. But the island is still a world apart—and a luxury cruise to Bermuda is the perfect way to enjoy this exclusive destination. 

Days drift by in a delightful blend of scuba diving, golfing, exploring art galleries and historic fortifications, or simply relaxing on exquisite pink sand beaches. Let Celebrity show you Bermuda’s many charms, with blissful days at sea to unwind on either side of your time on this fascinating island.

Featured Highlights

Pink beaches.

Bermuda’s beaches are famous not just for their beauty but for their blush-pink sand, caused by the presence of tiny, ground up shells. Horseshoe Bay Beach is the most famous, with clear, teal-blue water and tumbled rocks. Warwick Long Bay is adorned with rock outcrops and has pretty tide pools to explore. Elbow Beach is the place to head for a livelier scene, with bars, restaurants, and watersports facilities, as well as a shallow reef, teeming with fish.

Scuba Diving

Bermuda’s coral reefs and rocks have claimed more than 300 wrecks over time, making this one of the world’s top dive sites. Warm, glass-clear water and the fact that many of the wrecks lie in as little as 30 feet of water make Bermuda a dream for novice divers, too. What’s more, the underwater life is spectacular. You should see blue angelfish, parrotfish, spiny lobster, silvery jacks, wrasse, and graceful eagle rays, as well as coral in brilliant colors.

Colorful History

Step back in time in the National Museum of Bermuda in the Royal Naval Dockyard to learn about 400 years of the island’s history, from antique maps and cannons to treasures rescued from shipwrecks. Learn about the island’s role in both World Wars, and the darker days of the slave trade. UNESCO-protected St. George’s, too, is a fascinating insight into the past, with colorful old buildings and cobblestone streets to explore, as well as the 17th century St. Peter’s Church.

What are the best things to do in Bermuda on a cruise?

From naval history to pretty country villages, hiking trails, and pink sand beaches, there are endless things to do during your time in Bermuda. Our itineraries spend two nights docked here, so you’ll have plenty of time to explore.

One of the best things to do is to snorkel over the coral reefs and multiple wrecks that surround the island. There are some fascinating museums, too; the National Museum of Bermuda, located in a fort at the Royal Naval Dockyard, takes you through 400 years of history. Historic St. George’s is a UNESCO World Heritage Site just 45 minutes from the port by ferry, with narrow cobblestone lanes, colorful old homes, and quaint churches.

If you’re an active traveler, there’s all manner of watersports to try, as well as world-class golf, and cycling or hiking the historic 18-mile Railway Trail. Explore the Crystal and Fantasy Caves, where you’ll see dramatic stalagmites and stalactites and a shimmering underground lake.

There’s also excellent craft shopping in Bermuda, much of it within Royal Naval Dockyard.

Look out for rum, rum cake, spicy pepper sauces, ceramics, linen, locally made fragrances, cedarwood items, and the famous Bermuda shorts. 

When is the best time to cruise to Bermuda?

Bermuda’s peak season is from May to October, with July and August the warmest and sunniest months. May has the lowest rainfall. Just outside of the high season, you should still enjoy pleasant weather. Months with lower humidity, particularly April, make exploring easy.

What should I pack?

Depending on the time of year you’ve chosen, pack for a subtropical climate. Bring plenty of beachwear, a sun hat, sunglasses, coverups, water shoes (if you’re visiting coral beaches), and reef-friendly sunblock. 

A light waterproof jacket is handy for the occasional rain showers. Consider bringing comfortable walking shoes; Bermuda is a very walkable place with some wonderful hikes. 

If you intend to play golf, check the dress code of the courses you want to play. A collared shirt with sleeves and shorts the length of Bermuda shorts is standard.

Throughout the ship, casual resort wear, sundresses, shorts, polos, or button-downs are appropriate, paired with sandals, low heels, and loafers. In main and specialty dining, we ask guests to refrain from wearing swimsuits, see-through coverups or robes, bare feet, tank tops, T-shirts, and baseball caps. 

Smart Casual attire is required for entry to main dining, specialty dining, and the Celebrity Theatre. Smart Casual means you look comfortable yet tasteful in a dress, skirt, long pants, or jeans with a stylish top or button-down. Shorts and flip-flops are not considered Smart Casual. 

Each itinerary features one to two more “formal” nights that we call Evening Chic. Evening Chic means you dress to impress, glamorous and sophisticated in your own way, with a cocktail dress, skirt, slacks, or designer jeans, an elegant dress top, or blazer—some guests even pack a tuxedo or gown for onboard photos. 

The daily program, delivered to your stateroom and available at the Guest Relations Desk, will be your guide to the correct attire each evening. If you do not wish to participate in Evening Chic, Smart Casual attire is acceptable for dining and attending the theater.

What travel documents are required?

Round-trip cruises from Cape Liberty to Bermuda are known as “closed-loop cruises” for which U.S. citizens do not require a passport.

According to U.S. Customs & Border Protection, acceptable forms of identity include an Enhanced Driver’s License, which is a state-issued driver’s license that provides proof of identity and U.S. citizenship; a government-issued birth certificate (issued by the Vital Records Department in the state where the person was born) or passport; and if 16 or older, a government-issued driver’s license or picture ID denoting photo, name, and date of birth.

For transatlantic cruises that call at Bermuda, all visitors will need a valid passport.

Where do cruises depart from?

Our Bermuda cruises depart from Cape Liberty, New Jersey. Bermuda is also a stop on several of our transatlantic cruises, which depart from Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Barcelona, and Lisbon.

How long does it take to get to Bermuda?

The sailing time between Cape Liberty and Bermuda’s Royal Naval Dockyard is two days, during which you’ll have plenty of opportunity to relax and enjoy the many amenities of the ship. On the return journey, you’ll have one day and two nights at sea.

On a westbound Transatlantic cruise, you’ll have four days at sea between the Azores and Bermuda. On an eastbound voyage, you’ll leave Tampa and arrive in Bermuda after three days at sea. If you depart from Fort Lauderdale, there will be two days at sea before reaching the island.

What’s the weather like?

Bermuda is located in the Atlantic Ocean, a long way north of the Caribbean, and enjoys a temperate, subtropical climate. In other words, you can expect summers to be warm and sunny, with temperatures around the mid-80s, and high humidity. 

May to October is considered the high season, with April and November bringing slightly cooler but still pleasant weather. Expect average highs of 68°F in April and 72°F in November. 

What currency is used in Bermuda?

Bermuda’s currency is the Bermuda Dollar, which is tied to the U.S. Dollar. You can use U.S. dollars in most places on the island, although you may be given change in Bermuda dollars.

Where can I see pink sand beaches?

Horseshoe Bay Beach is one of the most beautiful pink sand beaches, where rocky outcrops fringe the sweep of pink and there are umbrellas and beach chairs available to rent. Warwick Long Bay, one of the longest beaches, has pale pink sand and great snorkeling close to the shore. Tiny Jobson’s Cove, nearby, is almost entirely hemmed in by rocks and is safe for swimming in the turquoise shallows. 

Also nearby is Stonehole Bay, a beautiful combination of pale pink sand, cyan water, and craggy rocks. Elbow Beach, another popular spot, curves around the coast for nearly a mile, and is protected by coral reefs.

Why should i go on a cruise to bermuda.

Bermuda cruises in 2024 offer the great opportunity to relax on pink-sand beaches, play golf on world-renowned courses, or snorkel and dive in crystal-clear waters. A 7-day cruise in 2024 to Bermuda is an excellent way to explore the beautiful island nation that accepts US dollars. With a Boston to Bermuda cruise, you can depart from the east coast and enjoy a comfortable voyage to the Caribbean. There are also many cruises from New York to Bermuda, as well as Baltimore cruises to Bermuda, and even cruises to the Bermuda triangle. While 3-day cruises from California or 3-day cruises from San Diego might not allow you enough time for a relaxed cruise experience, there are plenty of other options to choose from, such as a 3-day cruise from NYC to Bermuda, 5-day cruise from Florida or a 7-day cruise.

How can I find a cheap Bermuda cruise?

One of the best ways to find a cheap 3-day all-inclusive or 5-day cruise for 2024 is to book a cruise in the off-peak season as far in advance as possible. Booking your Bermuda cruise in 2025 will allow you to search through many more options and select better deals for your cruise tickets to Bermuda. Even if you’re down to the wire and taking a last-minute trip, however, you can sort your Expedia options by price to choose the best available options for cheap cruises to Bermuda, such as 7-day cruise deals. Keep an eye out for the green text in the search results that indicates a discount.

What cruise lines go to Bermuda?

A few of the best cruise lines to Bermuda include MSC Cruises and Royal Caribbean International . Other wonderful options can be found on such cruise lines as Disney , Norwegian , Oceana, Carnival , Silversea, and Celebrity Bermuda cruises. Your options for a cruise trip to Bermuda through Expedia include a wide range of cruise lines and include 3-day or 4-day cruises to Bermuda through to 5-day cruises in 2024 to Bermuda. You can find trips ranging from the inexpensive to those with full luxury amenities and beyond, and from a quick 3-day cruise or 5-day cruise from Florida to Bermuda to a longer cruise from New York to Bermuda or a 5-day cruise from Boston to Bermuda.

How can I find good deals on cruises to Bermuda?

Bermuda cruise prices can vary based on a range of factors, for instance, whether you want a 5-day cruise or a 4-day cruise, but on Expedia, you can filter almost every aspect of your trip, whether by the length of the cruise, such as a 7-day cruise or a 3-day cruise, the departure date, the luxury amenities you desire, or the itinerary of your trip. Keep in mind that booking in advance for a cruise in the off-peak season can help you find a deal. If, for example, you want to take a Carnival Bermuda trip with a buffet meal, you can simply enter your dates of departure, the number of passengers, and your destination. When the list comes up, you will be able to filter by cruise line, then check the itinerary and features of every ship. Each offer includes a green box that shows how much you save with that specific package. With Expedia, you have absolute control.

What to look out for when you book your Bermuda cruise?

Every cruise to Bermuda from the US is unique, and the first thing to check is your itinerary to be sure that it will dock at least overnight on the island. Most options you will find will be at least a 4-day cruise to Bermuda or a 5-day cruise to Bermuda, but they may not spend all that time on the island itself. It is also recommended to check for cruises from Boston to Bermuda or cruises from New York City to Bermuda as these routes can be less expensive than cruises that depart from other ports. Even then you may not have enough time to explore the entire island, 3- or 4-day cruises to Bermuda are better than just a few hours. When you do reach the island, get to know the public transportation system, which is fantastic.

Where are the best places to go on a cruise to Bermuda?

Bermuda cruise destinations offer a world of experiences, such as the gorgeous white-sand beaches at Horseshoe Bay, diving and snorkeling among living coral reefs and historic shipwrecks like the Mary Celeste, and the bustling and thriving port of Hamilton with shopping and dining along Front Street. A St. George's cruise opens up a thriving historic town with museums, narrow lanes, the historic Fort St. Catherine, and delicious local food. Look for cruises that include a stop at the Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda, or Kings Wharf, Bermuda, as these ports are popular among tourists and offer many activities. The astonishing Crystal Caves were even mentioned by Mark Twain.

When is the best time to go on a cruise to Bermuda?

The prime season for a boat cruise to Bermuda is between spring and late fall with the peak season ranging from June through August. Bermuda does not have a specific rainy season, but in October you will see the most precipitation, and during the summer, temperatures are much hotter and more humid. Crowds can be larger during the peak months, so travel in April, May, September, or October, and you may find better deals and fewer people. Alternatively, if you're looking to save money, booking off-peak season your 2024 4-day cruise from Florida, for example, can help you find an interesting deal.

How long does it take to go to Bermuda by cruise ship?

Enter your destination and dates for travel in the search bar, and make sure to sort the search results by duration–either by shortest trip such as a 4-day cruise or longest trip. The shortest cruises that go to Bermuda generally take 4 days round-trip, such as cruises from New York to Bermuda. These cruises are at sea for a full day from New York to Bermuda, and another day at sea to get back to New York. You can even book a 14-day cruise to Bermuda from New York if you really want to soak up everything Bermuda has to offer.

What are some great luxury cruises to Bermuda?

The Viking Bermuda cruise is one of the best options, offering a 7-day cruise to Bermuda that includes exciting excursions such as snorkeling, a glass-bottom boat tour, and a visit to the Royal Naval Dockyard. Royal Caribbean Bermuda cruises are also a great option. These cruises typically include stops at both King's Wharf and Heritage Wharf in Bermuda and offer a wide range of shore excursions and activities. Other luxury cruise options include a Carnival cruise to Bermuda from ports like New York or Baltimore. For those looking for luxury cruises to Bermuda from Charleston , cruises from Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, and Royal Caribbean are also available.

What are some good all-inclusive cruises to Bermuda?

Royal Caribbean International cruises , Celebrity cruises to Bermuda, and Norwegian cruises to Bermuda offer a wide range of all-inclusive features such as onboard entertainment, 24-hour room service, spa facilities and youth packages, to name a few. To check if the cruise line has the all-inclusive features you want, simply click on the trip offerings that interest you and explore the cabin experience and "what's included" sections of the trip. All-inclusive cruises to Bermuda can be found even at the discount level and offer all the elements you need for a carefree travel experience, including a private room, meal service, free Wi-Fi, entertainment, and other amenities. An all-inclusive cruise to Bermuda is a great way to travel without worrying about needing to make a plan every day.

How to book a cruise to Bermuda on Expedia?

Searching for a cruise to Bermuda is a breeze, requiring only that you enter your date of departure, destination, and number of travelers, then filtering the results as you like. Our preselected offers can save you even more time by packaging the most popular elements together for you. To customize, simply enter filters to narrow your search results based on cruise lines, specific ships such as the Liberty of the Seas from Royal Caribbean , amenities, and other desires, such as making port at King's Wharf. You can then view everything in a package right down to the itinerary before booking. Be sure to keep an eye out for the green text that indicates a deal in the search results.

Do you need a passport to cruise to Bermuda?

Travel to Bermuda normally requires a passport. However, if you’re on a closed-loop cruise to Bermuda, US citizens do not require passports. So long as your cruise to Bermuda departs from the United States and ends back there, for instance with a 7-day cruise, you may carry a state ID such as a driver's license and a birth certificate in lieu of your passport. It is, however, always best practice to keep your passport with you when traveling to another country in case of unexpected occurrences.

Can I cancel my cruise booking to Bermuda?

Canceling your booking through Expedia is as simple as visiting the My Trips hub on our site or reaching out to our expert customer support team. While canceling is easy, however, check with your cruise line before you do, as many cruise lines only offer partial refunds, may not offer refunds at all, or may charge a cancellation fee. Checking first can save you from a potentially unpleasant surprise. Remember also that the further in advance you cancel, the larger your refund is likely to be.

Why should I book a cruise to Bermuda with Expedia?

The best reason to book an ocean cruise to Bermuda in 2024 with Expedia is the simple process combined with unmatched options. When you book through Expedia, you can customize everything from your cruise line to the specific ship you want, the type of room you desire, and the amenities onboard the ship and the length your desire, whether it is a 7-day or 5-day cruise. You can add filters to narrow your search and compare the options that look the best. If you're looking to save money, keep an eye out for the green text that indicates discounts in the search results. No matter what your budget is, visiting places like Horseshoe Bay, Hamilton, and St. George's on your cruise to Bermuda is simple when you book through Expedia.

Get away from the stresses of everyday life with a Bermuda vacation filled with long days on the beach, nights full of laughter and revelry, and some of the finest links in the golfing world.

Things to Do on a Cruise to Bermuda

Posh and polished Bermuda is different from most other island nations, due to its stately demeanor. Bermuda is the oldest continually populated British settlement in the world. It also is known for having more golf courses per acre than any other place on Earth, and of course the famous Bermuda shorts! Highlighted below are some of our favorite things to do when cruising to Bermuda:

• Practice your swing. The island is known for having some of the world’s best golf courses, used for professional tournaments where famous golfers like Adam Scott, Bubba Watson and Tiger Woods have teed off.  
• St. George retains the charm of its earliest days in the 1600s. Many of the buildings are original, including the Old Rectory and the Old State House. You may even happen upon a costumed actor to tell you about life in early Bermuda.  

• Spend a day at the famous Horseshoe Bay Beach. This beach has a lifeguard on duty all summer long and is surrounded by turquoise and cerulean waters.   
• Though no longer a military dockyard, the Royal Naval Dockyard is filled with amusements. This complex is a great spot to do some shopping for some of Bermuda’s local art. You’ll find local artisans selling their wares, rent a boat, or a snorkel in the water park.  

• Go underground to see the Crystal and Fantasy Caves in Bermuda. These massive underground caves were discovered by two young cricket players 1907.  
• Visit the oldest Anglican Church in continuous use, St. Peters, which was built in 1620. Inside you’ll find an altar carved in 1615 by Bermuda’s first governor and a throne that is believed to have been salvaged from a shipwreck.

Cruising to Bermuda in December.

This is our first cruise to Bermuda in December.   I'm just wondering what type of cruising weather to expect.   Anyone have experience with this?  I know it will be cold in New York,  but was wondering if we should expect rough seas on the way out.   Thank you for any insight.

Cold and possibly rough seas.........  depending upon  storms.  That is not a place to which  I  would opt to sail in December.     Is  this just a one day stop as part of another itinerary?   I might be golf and tennis weather  but then again maybe not.  Expect to find lots of  the tourist places closed or  reduced availability.

Never heard of a cruise itinerary that visits Bermuda in December ?

What ship is doing this . Bermuda is not tropical .

looks like RCCL  is going  early Dec

Bermuda is off the SC/NC coast...it's in the Atlantic....the winter is NOT the prime time to go there.  You'll be looking at 60-70 F...not awful, but not tropical by any means!  Could be less than that, as Dec. has LOTS of "far reaching" cold fronts.....they tend to moderate by the end of January.

I have been there during winter and summer.  Winter can be ok avg temp of 72 for Dec.  

navybankerteacher

Sea water temps between NY and Bermuda in early December are likely to be in low 70’s - much of the route will be in the Gulf Stream.  Temps in Bermuda are likely to reach low 70’s.  Not a hardship by any means - sort of nice Spring weather.

Krazy Kruizers

DH was in Bermuda one time the week after Thanksgiving.  Chilly -- only in the 60's and windy.

NantahalaCruiser

December average temps in Bermuda are high of 70 and low of 63.

But plan on lower temps on the trip from Bayonne to Bermuda

Mean inshore sea water temperature in Bermuda in December is 67.5 . Mean air temperature is 66.7.   http://www.bermuda-online.org/climateweather.htm

Spring weather, maybe, but beach weather definitely not.

That 66.7 mean air temp figure takes in the whole month of December - including midnight conditions on Dec. 30.

It seems that OP is on Royal Caribbean - calling at Dockyard from mid-morning to mid-afternoon on December 8.   On Dec. 8, 2017 the daytime low was 72 and the High was 77.

Mean figures, while significant, need to be understood for what they are.

Having undergraduate and graduate degrees in mathematics and having worked as an actuary and in related jobs for more than 20 years I think I have a fairly good idea of how the mean is calculated.

Citing the temperature on one particular day is meaningless. The numbers I cited represent the cumulative history of climate in Bermuda. 

If you are running Windows 10, there is a very good climate ap built into Windows 10.

leaveitallbehind

Have been there many times.  That would be a very early out of season cruise date for Bermuda as their normal cruise season is late April to late October, with the prime being June into September.  I would not book a cruise there at that time as while it still may be relatively mild once there, getting there would be in the Atlantic winter in terms of sea travel.  And what drives the climate for Bermuda is that it benefits from the Gulf Stream and, as was previously indicated, it is off the coast of South Carolina.  It is not a tropical climate.

I grant your grasp of how a mean is calculated, but question your  focusing on it;

you seem to overlook the fact that a mean figure for the entire month of December - including each of the 24 hours of each day is virtually certain to be well below the mid-day temperature of an early December day:   which is what I was referring to. 

What IS meaningless in estimating what to expect for the middle of an early December day is a mean which includes temperatures experienced in late December nights.  

A previous December 8 daytime experience is  a far better indicator of what might be expected for a following December 8 daytime than a mean of all previous whole months of December.

In 2011 I went on a cruise that ended just after Halloween, which is of course October 31. That year there was a significant snowstorm, quite rare, on that date.  You might remember the storm as you live in Connecticut, which was significantly impacted by the storm...perhaps you lost power to your home as many in the Northeast did. I had to dig my car out from under the snow at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal and came home to NJ to find even more snow had fallen there. 

Using your logic of the experience of a single day being a reliable indicator of typical weather conditions on that date would lead one to conclude based on that one snowy October that significant snow is representative of weather in late October in the Northeast US, which is of course laughable nonsense. 

I'm not suggesting that the single December day you cite is as extremely variant as the October snowstorm was, but my point is that a single point in time can never be assumed to be a reliable representation of long term history. You might get lucky and pick one day that coincidentally is a good representation of the long term average, but that one day could just as easily be an outlier, just like the 2011 Halloween snowstorm.

A lot of verbiage to evade the point: a single, clearly comparable day (while not proof certain) IS a better (not strictly reliable but simply a better) indicator than a mean which includes very different days and much colder times of those days.

Since you didn't like the verbiage, I'm going to give you some numbers that show how off base a single data point can be.

Per the Bermuda Weather Service www.weather.bm , which maintains detailed climate records , December, 2017 was described as follows: "   The month was warmer than average with near two thirds of the daily mean, maximum, and minimum air temperatures above their respective long term values;"

Further, December 8 happened to be the warmest day of the month, with an official high of 78.8 F.

In fact for the previous decade, 2007 - 2016, the average high temperature on December 8 was 71.7 F,  10 degrees colder than 2017, with the warmest December 8 coming in 2011 at 75.9, and the coldest in 2010 at 65.5. Note that  in these two consecutive years there was a difference of over 10 degrees.

You'll notice I only cited the daily high temperatures in order to satisfy your objection to my citing the mean for the month. You should also note that the above proves that  2017 was an outlier, with a far higher temperature than measured in the previous 10 years . Again, that's why using a single year is a bad idea.

My error...I should have written "7 degrees colder than 2017, " not 10 degrees.

OK - we’ll rely upon your mean air temperature of 66.7 —- ignoring your subsequent acknowledgement that the December 8 daily high temperatures over a period of ten years was 71.7.

On the other hand, the fact that we were considering daytime temps to be expected on December 8 and not the average, night and day, for the entire month might be considered.

My point is that a mean is only useful in such projections if the constituent addends bear sufficient relevance.

Bermuda is an ATLANTIC island...it's by no means "tropical"....it's going to be cool in Dec....I'd plan on cool to cold.  It's pretty much off the coast of SC/NC....it's not as far south as Florida.  Pack a pair of shorts...but don't be surprised if it's too cool for them.

Spent a week there once in early April. Froze my butt off. Tried to do the beach once and ended up wrapped in big beach towels to keep warm. Not feeling December but you just never know. I’ve been in Boston on Halloween in shorts and tank top. Weather can be strange.

Of course, early April is just two weeks after the end of winter, when things are just starting to warm up; while early December is two weeks before the end of fall, when a bit of summer’s warmth is still lingering.  This is why a  late fall trans-Atlantic is likely to be much better than an early spring one.

I would hope that someone traveling to Bermuda would realize its location and that it is unlikely to be hot beach weather.  It read to me like the OP is asking more for sea conditions than air temperatures (OP, sorry I have no idea of conditions).

For temperature, it really varies from person to person.  Someone from the north or midwest might find 60's to 70's very pleasant compared to 20's-40's and be glad for shorts, while someone from the south could find the same temps to be chilly.  Activities will make a difference too - I doubt many are swimming at the Bermuda beaches in December, but hiking and exploring could be comfortably warm.

I tend to run cold and break out the sweaters early, while DH is warm and wears shorts whenever possible.  He reluctantly broke out the pants this weekend since there was ice and snow on the ground 😉

THE BEST TIME TO VISIT BERMUDA

Discover what's the best months to visit bermuda, 1. chase the sunshine.

Bermuda has a subtropical climate that makes it a sought-after destination for travelers all year long, but the most popular seasons to visit are in spring and summer, from April to October. The island comes to life during this time, with visitors from around the globe, colorful events, blooming flowers and endless activities. The island also grows warmer and can be intensely sunny, especially during the summer months when the temperature averages 85℉, so don't forget that sunscreen if you want to stretch out on the famed pink sand.

Water activities like snorkeling, scuba diving and swimming are very pleasant this time of year, when the water is warmest, and many sunseekers flock to Tobacco Bay, the Crystal Caves and Jobson's Cove.

If you visit during this stretch, you'll find fun events for the whole family, including the Bermuda Carnival in June and the Gombey Festival in September. Just remember that while these months offer the warmest weather and sunniest days along with a lively atmosphere, they're also the most popular, so you'll want to book tours in advance.

2. Weigh the allure of a slower pace

Explore exhibitions at the Bermuda Arts Centre in Hamilton.

If you're seeking a more relaxed and tranquil experience, the best time to visit Bermuda is during the shoulder seasons of late fall and early spring, when the island experiences fewer crowds, milder temperatures and a slower pace of life.

During the fall, Bermuda transitions from the busy summer season to a more mellow ambiance. The weather remains pleasant, though, with temperatures ranging from 65℉ to 75℉. This is the perfect time to visit if you're a nature lover who wants to explore the island's flora, history and culture. Stop by Southlands Park, Somers Garden or the Bermuda Historical Society Museum without having to worry about the heat or bustle of peak tourist months.

The spring shoulder season also offers a peaceful retreat, with vibrant flowers and refreshing breezes. You can immerse yourself in the island's natural beauty at the botanical gardens, embark on a scenic hike on the Railway Trail and take advantage of lower prices everywhere you go.

3. Consider exploring during cooler months

If you prefer even cooler temperatures, then the best time to visit Bermuda is during the winter season, from mid-December to March. These months are considered off-peak for tourism, but there are still a lot of benefits for travelers, such as milder weather and lower humidity. Adults traveling without children will also find fewer little ones onboard.

During winter in Bermuda, the island turns into a refreshing paradise without being too chilly. This is the best time for surfing; you can rent a surfboard and head to Horseshoe Bay for a lesson — or just watch the locals catch some waves.

Winter in Bermuda is also perfect for exploring the island's cultural and historical attractions, like the Royal Naval Dockyard and the National Museum of Bermuda. You'll enjoy lower rates and fewer crowds at many popular sites. Just remember that some businesses and attractions have shorter operating hours this time of year, so you'll want to plan your activities accordingly.

4. Look for the cheapest time to visit

If you're a budget-conscious traveler, you might already know that the most affordable time to visit Bermuda is during the off-peak winter months — from mid-December to March. For a full experience that doubles as the cheapest Bermuda vacation possible, good options are between mid-January and mid-March. This cooler period — when the average temperature hovers around 70℉ — offers lower prices; cruises, tour companies, restaurants and museums may offer discounted rates, making this the best time to visit Bermuda on a budget.

Many golfers prefer to visit Bermuda between January and March because there are no crowds. Renowned clubs include Port Royal, Turtle Hill and Mid Ocean Club, where you can take your pick from available tee times.

Also, if you live on the East Coast, you'll find affordable cruises from New York City to Bermuda

5. Know your priorities

While Bermuda is a captivating destination year-round, some months may be less ideal for you depending on your goals. For those in search of hot temps and water sports, summer is the best time to visit Bermuda. For golfers and those who burn easily, the off-peak winter season may be better.

Another consideration is hurricane season, which extends officially from June to November. This time of year brings increased potential for storms and heavy rain in the region. Storms can also make the waters of the Atlantic choppier as you power toward the island from the East Coast — which is fun for those who enjoy the feeling of pitching and rolling, but may require some people to pack motion-sickness medication.

However, Bermuda's memorable cuisine is available all year. Regardless of when you come, you'll find fresh seafood dishes like fish chowder and codfish cakes, British options such as fish and chips and signature local drinks such as the Dark and Stormy and the Rum Swizzle, both of which use local rum as a key ingredient. Our advice? No matter when you come, plan to order a couple of these cocktails for a memorable toast to a fabulous vacation.

Sail from Marigot on St Martin to Prickly Pear Cays on Anguilla, St Barts, Nevis, Falmouth Bay on Antigua, Barbuda and the chic Îles des Saintes in Guadeloupe — in other words some of the most seductive islands in the region.
