The capital of Bermuda, Hamilton offers authentic afternoon tea ceremonies, golfing, shopping, and inspiring views. A towering Anglican cathedral is a popular stop. Can’t-miss destinations for nature lovers include an impressive aquarium, a natural history museum, and Bermuda’s largest wildlife preserve. Large-scale block parties are a common occurrence, where the costumes are bright, the music is loud, and the bars serve dark n’ stormies, a local mix of Bermuda’s own Gosling’s rum and ginger beer, until the early morning.
Upon your ship entering St. George’s, it’s likely you’ll be welcomed by a town crier, complete with costume and hand bell. The town of St. George’s is nearly just as it was during the 17th and 18th centuries. Colonial-era buildings serve as cozy shops, restaurants, and pubs, making for both a fun and relaxed experience. Stock up on U.K. imports of cashmere or take a photo locked up in replica medieval stocks in King’s Square.
Boasting the Royal Naval Dockyard of the British Navy, King’s Wharf is the perfect place to explore the rich maritime history of Bermuda. The port features maritime museums, an intact fort, weathered lighthouses, and centuries-old buildings in remarkably good condition that are open to the public. It’s also home to a great arts and crafts market, stunning galleries, and the incomparable Bermuda Rum Cake Company. If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, parasailing, dolphin swims, and snorkeling are available off the beautiful coast. Plus, you’ll find more incredible golf courses than we can even name in this space. Finally, at the end of another perfect day, sit down to a plate of delicious, fresh-caught seafood – and start planning for tomorrow!
