Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton is the closest golf course to the ship and is easily accessible by bus or cab. However, if you are cruising to Bermuda it is very easy to bring your own golf clubs on board. My favorite souvenirs to bring home usually include some local treats.
Hamilton Harbour Nights
Kick back amidst the sun-kissed pleasures of a pink-sand paradise on Carnival cruises to King’s Wharf. This British overseas territory of Bermuda has a rich naval heritage… plus powdery beaches fringed in coconut palms. Bermuda has some of the most beautiful and highly rated golf courses in the world, so if you are a golfer, put this on your wish list.

Follow along in our YouTube video as we head over to Crystal Caves, Swizzle Inn and Hamilton by ferry and bus. The Swizzle Inn is located across the street from Crystal Caves. If you are looking for things to do in Bermuda with kids, this Aquarium, Zoo and Museum is a favorite for families. The super large aquarium is the main attraction, and is a living replica of Bermuda’s coral reef – so you’ll see a wide variety of Bermuda marine life here. Some interesting sights to see include government buildings such as the Cabinet Building, the Sessions House and the impressive City Hall. An interesting fact about Bermuda’s rich history, is that Bermuda’s parliament is the oldest in the British commonwealth.

Explore British colonial landmarks like the Royal Navy Dockyard. Take a dip in the blue waves at Horseshoe Bay Beach and wander through the vibrantly painted streets of St George's and Hamilton to see the Gothic-style towers of the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity. Hike the Railway Trail and take in views of the clear-water coast, or snorkel among shipwrecks and coral reefs at Tobacco Bay.
Things To Do in Bermuda
Not to miss, is Bermuda's famous seafood chowder which is not surprisingly topped with black rum, and a dash of sherry sauce. A great way to travel to Hamilton (the capital of Bermuda) is to take the ferry from the port area. Many people rent scooters while there but keep in mind that residents drive on the left. Also available are electric vehicles called a “Twizy” which are earmarked for tourists. The water can be choppy sometimes, it’s rocky and it’s got seaweed, so it’s not really recommended for small kids.

Bermuda is absolutely wonderful so make sure you plan your stay to get the most out of your day! Locals are friendly, the sites amazing and not to mention the beaches of unmatched beauty. Bermuda cruise port is fully accessible and offers a variety of options for people of all ages, guaranteeing you and your family a safe, unforgettable, and memorable stay. Bermuda, the shipwreck capital of the world, is located in the North Atlantic Ocean and not in the Caribbean Sea as many think. It is a British Island Territory known for its perfect blend of British and American culture, soft sand pink beaches, stunning marine life, and a golfer’s paradise. Located about 30 minutes away from the cruise port, accessible by bus or taxi, Gibb’s Lighthouse is a phenomenal spot to get a great bird’s eye view of western Bermuda and the cruise ship port.

Manhattan, New York City
If you want to grab a bite close to the ship, a great spot is The Frog and Onion Pub. I quite like catamaran and boat excursions as for me it is the right amount of “organization”, local information from the tour operator or guide, and activity to make it an enjoyable part of our visit. There are some great excursions including catamaran snorkeling, wave runners, glass bottom boats and more. Other shops in Dockyard include a rum cake shop and the glass blowing shop where they demonstrate their work. Some great clothing stores feature nautical themed clothing and made in Bermuda jewelry, candles and other collectibles.
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. Set sail on the best Bermuda cruises to experience from historical wonders to natural beauty. Snorkel deep down and discover mysterious underwater shipwrecks from hundreds of years ago, or kick off your sandals and relax on the unique pink sand of some of the world's most beautiful beaches.
On the return journey, you’ll have one day and two nights at sea. 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. Bermuda snorkeling provides a spectacular mix of marine environments for beginners and experts alike, from teeming coral reefs to centuries-old shipwrecks. And luckily, it's a main ingredient in a ton of Bermuda favorites.
While you're down there, you can see barracudas, parrot fish and angelfish, as well as many species of colourful coral. Located in Warwick parish, this gorgeous pink sand beach is Bermuda’s longest beach and is considered the best beach for snorkeling. The water is a little wavy so I recommend it for experienced snorkelers and strong swimmers as currents can be strong. From Bermuda cruise port, you can take the Orange ferry line to St. George’s and then a 20-minute bus ride to Tobacco Bay Beach from the St. George’s Visitor Services Centre in King’s Square. Another amazing location for snorkeling is located in a sheltered bay in St. George’s Parish, on the far east end of the island.
Then save the last day for activities that are close to the ship in the Royal Navy Dockyard. Most cruise ships dock in King’s Wharf or Heritage Wharf, also known as the Royal Naval Dockyard, or just Dockyard. This cruise port is great spot, within walking distance to the National Museum of Bermuda, Snorkel Park Beach and the Bermuda Craft Market. Choose from our 4-5 day Bermuda cruises, many of which include weekend sailings, and escape to an otherworldly paradise.
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. 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.
A collared shirt with sleeves and shorts the length of Bermuda shorts is standard.
