Itinerary

Departs: 15:00

A visit to this one-of-a-kind cinematic city is a frantic, fascinating feast for the senses. Liberally scattered with familiar landmarks, world-leading museums, and with an atmosphere and infectious energy found nowhere else.

Whether arriving or departing, aboard your cruise liner you can take in the stunning view of the New York skyline. There are three cruise ship terminals in New York City, the Manhattan cruise terminal located in Hell’s Kitchen, the Brooklyn cruise terminal located in the Red Hook neighbourhood and the Cape Liberty cruise port located in the Port of New York and New Jersey.

Port:Cape Liberty

Cape Liberty Cruise Port is located in Bayonne, New Jersey, approximately 11 kilometers (7 miles) from Lower Manhattan. The journey to Manhattan takes about 20-30 minutes by taxi or rideshare. Cape Liberty offers a scenic view of the Statue of Liberty and is a convenient gateway for exploring New York City’s iconic attractions.

Bermuda, a British island territory in the North Atlantic, is synonymous with pink-sand beaches like Horseshoe Bay, crystal-clear waters, and a rich maritime history. The island's blend of British and American culture creates a unique charm, evident in its cuisine, architecture, and the warmth of its people.

Known for its coral reefs, Bermuda is a premier destination for diving and snorkelling, offering an underwater spectacle of shipwrecks and vibrant marine life. The island also boasts a range of activities from golfing on world-class courses to exploring the historic Town of St. George, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Bermuda's subtropical climate makes it a year-round destination, where visitors can immerse themselves in the island's laid-back elegance and natural beauty.

Port:King's Wharf

King’s Wharf and Heritage Wharf, collectively known as the Royal Naval Dockyard, are situated on Bermuda's West End. These docks are about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from Hamilton, the capital city, which takes approximately 30 minutes by car. Transportation options include taxis, rental scooters, and public buses. The Dockyard itself is rich in attractions such as the National Museum of Bermuda, Dolphin Quest, and various shops and restaurants. For those looking to explore further, ferries provide a scenic route to Hamilton and St. George’s, offering picturesque views of Bermuda’s coastline.
