Bermuda Ports are the main mouthpieces of this island country. Bermuda's biggest attraction to cruise ships and their passengers is that all the Bermuda ports are within small distance for shopping; nowhere locally is above an hour away; and public buses are some of the most frequent in the world. But, it has no tax-free port facilities.
Bermuda Ports are three in number:
- The City of Hamilton,
- The Town of St. George,
- The Royal Naval Dockyard .
The main cruise-ship port of Bermuda , Hamilton , lies in the middle of Bermuda. Cruise ships are docked along Front Street running next to the water. There is a cruise terminal at the waterfront, which has public telephones, rest rooms and a visitor information booth. The city's many shops and sights are within a short walk of the Wharf, where two ships can dock at a time.
Three cruise ships can tie up at St. George . At the docks there are cruise terminals, which have a tourist information booth, public telephones, rest rooms etc. All the points of interest and shops are within walking distance—and this is the perfect port for walking. This is also the largest of the Bermudian ports in terms of number of ships anchored.
Larger cruise ships usually anchor at the Royal Naval Dockyard , which is at the northwestern end of the islands. The towering stone buildings of the former British naval installation have been recreated into shops and restaurants. The dock can accommodate one cruise ship at a time. Telephones, rest rooms and a tourist information table are located on the dock.
Bermuda ports are as much commercial docks as they are tourist magnets in their own rights.
