Save up to 80% on Bermuda Cruises!

Bermuda is a self-governing British dependency that melds island living with proper English traditions. Cruise to Bermuda and see sparkling blue water and pink-sand beaches, and hibiscus and bougainvillea blooms in front of pretty pastel cottages. If you cruise Bermuda you'll also find that afternoon tea is a daily ritual, judges still wear powdered wigs and cricket is a much-loved sport.

Unlike Caribbean cruises, Bermuda cruises are tightly controlled in order to keep the crowds to a minimum. Because of limits on the number of passengers that may disembark in Bermuda, it is not unusual for Bermuda cruise lines to limit the number of cabins with triple or quad occupancy on a particular sailing. This means that families planning to cruise to Bermuda in the summer (when school is out) should generally book at least 90 days in advance.

• The Bermuda cruise season lasts from late-April to October.
• Most cruises to Bermuda last seven nights, and ships typically spend three nights at the island. Some ships will stay in one port, while others may visit up to three Bermuda cruise ports.
• Most cruises to Bermuda depart from Boston or New York City.
• Bermuda is an extremely popular golf destination, boasting some of the most beautiful greens in the world. Because ships stay in port for several days, it is easy to schedule tee times when you cruise Bermuda.
• Many people mistakenly assume that Bermuda is in the Caribbean. In fact, it is actually about 1,000 miles north of the Caribbean and roughly 570 miles east of Cape Hatteras, NC.

I'm hoping as few cruisers as possible are being effected by the rockin' and rollin' you're going through. Mama mia! I think next week is not going to be the best weather for our cruise, either. I'be been checking Bermuda's forecast. They're offering some good films in case cruisers are deciding to stay in their cabins. The info you've posted has already been a big help and you've just started! I'm figuring on OBC instead of Lat. perks. I'll ask for a different pin so I can start a collection, LOL. Covid numbers in Manhattan are rising daily and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a negative antigen test this Friday. Very tired of "testing stress".........Sharon

Hey there, Bonnie! I booked a few weeks ago. Making up for lost time! Hello to Sol.

Just now, The P said: Hey there, Bonnie! I booked a few weeks ago. Making up for lost time! Hello to Sol.

Will...do.  And after Bermuda maybe we can catch a matinee...or meet up at Westway again.  I had their carrot cake a few days ago...a giant piece for a modest price.  Westway is the only restaurant in the city that kept their prices without lowering quality! (I should do their PR)

So many familiar names.  I will let Henry report if any are on the Joy now.  As far as I know, Deepak and Nomita are on the Encore (GM and Asst GM) and Kivanc and Alvin are on the Escape (GM and CD).  

This evening (afternoon's) treat delivered to the SC family "suites" a bit stingy if there's 4 or 5 guests, luckily for 3 of us. 

As for the Escape Dream Team as called by AR' and one of Dexddd' and me, I don't believe any are onboard the Joy - there is a Cherry, heading up housekeeping. Doubtful the same as Deepak's assistant pre-Covid. The GM's team are listed on page 1 of tomorrow's (Day 3) Freestyle Dailies. After tomorrow's M&G and/or afternoon Latitudes Party inside the Observation Lounge, will update further + photos as ... Not expecting any significant turnout (not b/c of yours truly keeping the distance) as it hasn't been organized & co-opted and co-mingled. 

Going slow & easy at 12 knots, sea states & wave heights okay - mother nature still not easing up with the Atlantic.

No lines, no wait & no reservations needed for MDR tonight for Taste or Savor - half empty at 7:15 pm when 3 of us walked up. The other 3 went early to eat in the buffet & then the magic show. 

The same exact MDR menu sequence as rotated for Day 2, just like the Getaway for March & April. 

Portion size are as described, petite and for @PistolPete13  - triple it. Excellent photos, thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for your detailed review of your cruise!!!!   It is so nice to read and "follow along" with you.  We are taking the Joy in June on the same itinerary.  Do you remember which sit-down restaurants were open for lunch on embarkation day?  It looks like you may have eaten at the Local?  Wondering if either Taste or Savor was open.  Hate the crowds in the buffet on that first day.  Thanks so much, again.  We are really looking forward to the cruise.  It's been way too long!

Charry (not "Cherry") is assistant concierge to David Newball on Escape. Deepak and Nomita are GM/assistant GM on Encore, Alvin is currently CD on Escape and as most know, Papi passed away from Covid.

14 hours ago, mking8288 said:     BTW, got my Lenovo Chromebook connected to ship's satellite WiFi, live now - just checked our Virtual Balcony view, seas state easing a little, not as rough & waves height down a bit.  Blue skies ahead after the last 24 hours - that's good for all on this Bermuda ride.   

Any chance your Chromebook fits in the room safe? My MS Surface measures 11.5" x 8" and I sure hope I can cram it in. I know it fits in safes on Princess ships, but I have yet to sail with it on NCL.  Thx

Very sorry to hear about Papi.

Sorry I mis spelt her name...it is Charry.

What's for breakfast Henry? 😁

Hope the motion of the ocean has eased up a bit.

Thanks for doing this report.

Meet & Greet should be today. Very interested in whether the Officers/Staff show up and whether they provide any coffee/water etc for the meeting. I coordinated it for our cruise in 2 weeks so would also love to know if they pass out the cards with Officers/Staff names and phone numbers like they have in the past. Hope the seas have calmed down for you now!

For those interested, casino manager just told me there are 1942 passengers onboard this sailing.

If you can get the projected number for next week's cruise it'd be much appreciated!

Dinner looked great, thanks for sharing!!

This is the most ridiculous question I've ever asked... but..... if you ask for shrimp cocktail in the MDR will they be able to get it for you? I recall, at least on Celebrity, one can get a shrimp cocktail in the main dining rooms for an appetizer, however, I don't see it on the new menu. Our sailing is in a couple of weeks and my brother won't be happy without his daily shrimps. 🤣

1 hour ago, Arzeena said: What's for breakfast Henry? 😁 Hope the motion of the ocean has eased up a bit ...

Good morning to you & all ....  Calm seas & fair weather today, nice & warm.  We ate in Taste, a power breakfast.  Better tasting orange juice, skip the ones in the buffet, IMHO as chatted on CC before.

Casino manager said headcount next week projected at less than 2500 but she couldn’t be any more precise.

1 hour ago, peg013 said: Meet & Greet should be today. Very interested in whether the Officers/Staff show up and whether they provide any coffee/water etc ...

Here is the Card with who is who among the senior officers - 2 GM onboard this week, Ricardo going on vacation tomorrow when we reach Bermuda, and the other GM with the handover today (will get his full name) both from India. 

We had very light & simple refreshment, coffee & tea, water for the M&G. No samples from behind the bar counters 😉 or free samples (Escape, I recalled ... right, AR). Jerry the CD hosted the introduction & the GM team, welcomed all. Otherwise, not much mingling or folks connecting across & around the room, especially when CC don't know who's who from the social media group. About 35 attended in total, from my rough count. Not a good M&G event, IMHO, aside from chatting with 2 to 3 others ... hey, Dan - nice to meet you & connect. 🙄 FB group doing a $30 slot pull. 

1 hour ago, egurbi said: For those interested, casino manager just told me there are 1942 passengers onboard this sailing. 

Thanks 😸 this pretty fit my guestimate & partially seeing how busy the cruise terminal was at check in and traffic onboard, including the dining rooms.  Haven is practically sold out.  On the Getaway in late March, we had just 1,700 and I was expecting a higher # by now. Explained partially the drops in prices. 

@mking8288 Was that little platter with the strawberry and 3 other things "the snack"? 

31 minutes ago, egurbi said: Casino manager said headcount next week projected at less than 2500 but she couldn’t be any more precise.

Over 2000 seems kinda with all the available cabins I see but time will tell. Thanks for asking. 

I remember that M and G on the Escape and Bliss! That empty looking bar counter was packed and the flowing appetizers, drink samples, everybody talking, making new friends, the entertainment.

Good old days.

No little beer glasses or snacks!! Bah, humbug! LOL. Henry, I don't see the card?

39 minutes ago, MsTabbyKats said: @mking8288 Was that strawberry and 3 other things "the snack"? 

Yes, it's a good thing we're just 3 each to a 2 BR Inside Family Suite with the snack treat. Otherwise, we would've to fight over it and call Room Service to deliver something more substantial.

The 5 best destinations you can visit on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship

MSN has partnered with The Points Guy for our coverage of credit card products. MSN and The Points Guy may receive a commission from card issuers.

Thinking of booking a cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line ? You have a lot of choices. The Miami-based line operates vessels in almost every corner of the world, with a wide range of itineraries in many destinations.

You’ll find Norwegian ships everywhere, from the Caribbean and the Bahamas to Europe, Asia and Australia. The line is also a big player in Hawaii.

For more cruise guides, news and tips, sign up for TPG’s cruise newsletter.

In addition, Norwegian is particularly known for cruises to Bermuda out of Boston and New York City, and it offers Canada and New England cruises regularly. It also operates some Panama Canal sailings and trips from the West Coast of the U.S. to the Mexican Riviera.

In North America, Norwegian ships sail from a relatively wide range of home ports, including Boston; New York City; Miami and Tampa; San Juan, Puerto Rico; New Orleans; San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco; Seattle; Honolulu; Vancouver, British Columbia; Quebec City and Quebec in Canada; and Seward, Alaska.

Here is a look at the best destinations you can visit on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship.

Related: The ultimate guide to Norwegian Cruise Line

Some of Norwegian’s most exciting itineraries are in Europe, where the line is a significant player. It offers a wide range of itineraries in the Mediterranean and across northern Europe.

Norwegian will typically deploy around half of its 19 ships to the continent from spring to fall, making Europe its biggest focus for more than half the year. Norwegian also sometimes offers Europe cruises in the winter — albeit typically with just one ship.

Norwegian’s Mediterranean sailings provide the chance to see such iconic destinations as Barcelona in Spain; and Florence, Rome and Naples in Italy in a single cruise. Or, you can sign up for a Mediterranean cruise that focuses on the Greek Islands.

In northern Europe, Norwegian will take you to such famed Baltic cities as Stockholm; Tallinn, Estonia; and Helsinki in a single sailing.

In past years, such Baltic trips have also included a multiday call at St. Petersburg, Russia — traditionally the highlight of any Baltic sailings. However, like all major cruise lines, Norwegian pulled St. Petersburg from Baltic itineraries for 2022 and 2023 in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

As of the publishing of this guide, Norwegian had opened bookings for all of its Baltic sailing through late 2025, and St. Petersburg remains off the schedule for all of them. The line hasn’t said when it might return to St. Petersburg.

For those looking to explore northern Europe, Norwegian also offers itineraries that zero in on Iceland, Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Norwegian’s Europe voyages range widely in length from just three nights to a whopping 19 nights.

Among the longest sailings that Norwegian offers that include calls in Europe are one-way trips between Piraeus, Greece (the port for Athens), and Dubai. Typically lasting 18 or 19 nights, these will often include stops in Israel and sometimes Greece, as well as visits to Egypt, Jordan, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.

In Northern Europe, Norwegian ships mostly sail out of Amsterdam, Stockholm, Copenhagen, England’s Southampton and Reykjavík in Iceland.

In the Mediterranean, the line’s hubs are Barcelona, Civitavecchia (the port for Rome) and Venice in Italy, Piraeus (the port for Athens) in Greece, and Istanbul.

The Caribbean and the Bahamas

The Caribbean and the Bahamas have always been a big area of operations for Norwegian. In fact, for a long time, the regions were so much the focus that the line included “Caribbean” in its name. Up until 1987, Norwegian was known as Norwegian Caribbean Line.

These days, Norwegian usually keeps just two of its 19 vessels in the Caribbean and the Bahamas year-round (in recent years, the year-round ships have been Norwegian Sky and Norwegian Escape, both sailing to the Caribbean and the Bahamas from Florida ports). However, it really ramps things up in the region in the winter, when it deploys a large portion of its ships to the Caribbean and the Bahamas.

Norwegian currently has 15 of its 19 ships scheduled to sail to the Caribbean and the Bahamas for at least part of 2024 — including its newest and most advanced ship, the 3,219-passenger Norwegian Viva.

Related: I’ve sailed on nearly every Norwegian ship. Here are my first impressions of Norwegian Prima

Norwegian offers a broad range of Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries from more than half a dozen home ports. If you’re looking for something short, the line has you covered in the form of lots of quick, three- and four-night trips from Miami to the Bahamas.

It also offers an abundance of seven-night sailings to Caribbean and Bahamian ports, as well as a handful of longer trips in the region that range from nine to 14 nights.

At the core of the line’s Caribbean and Bahamas program are its seven-night sailings, which break down into three broad categories:

• Eastern Caribbean voyages
• Western Caribbean voyages
• Southern Caribbean voyages

A typical seven-night Norwegian sailing to the Eastern Caribbean includes stops in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; and Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian’s private island in the Bahamas.

Norwegian’s seven Western Caribbean voyages will typically include a visit to Roatan, Honduras; Harvest Caye, Belize; and Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico.

The line’s Southern Caribbean itineraries will often bring visits to Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, St. Lucia and St. Kitts. They typically begin and end in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

When sailing to the Caribbean, Norwegian ships generally sail out of Miami, Port Canaveral and Tampa in Florida; and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The line also offers Caribbean sailings out of New Orleans, New York City and, occasionally, Panama City, Panama.

Norwegian is the undisputed leader in Hawaii cruises. Most cruise lines that offer sailings to Hawaii only offer a limited number of such trips during a few months each year. Norwegian, by contrast, offers sailings around the Hawaiian Islands out of Honolulu every week of the year — the only cruise line in the world to do so.

Norwegian’s Hawaii voyages are also more intensely focused on Hawaii than the Hawaii trips offered by most other lines. This is because Norwegian offers its Hawaii cruises on one of the only cruise ships in the world that meets the regulatory requirements allowing it to spend all its time in the destination.

Norwegian’s Hawaii trips take place on Norwegian’s 2,186-passenger Pride of America, which has the rare distinction of being both U.S.-flagged and U.S.-crewed. By law, only such a vessel can cruise full-time in Hawaii without regularly traveling long distances to foreign ports.

An iconic presence in Hawaii, Pride of America has been permanently dedicated to the archipelago since its debut in 2005. It offers a repeating seven-night itinerary that begins each Saturday in Honolulu and brings the chance to visit four different Hawaiian islands on a single seven-night trip.

Beginning and ending on the island of Oahu, the itinerary includes two days each on the islands of Maui, Kauai and Hawaii. The two-day visit to Maui involves an overnight stay at the port of Kahului.

The two-day visit to Kauai involves an overnight stay at the port of Nawiliwili. The two-day visit to Hawaii is split between a call at Hilo and a call at Kona.

Related: The 8 classes of Norwegian ships, explained

Norwegian isn’t the biggest player in Alaska cruises. The giants of cruising to Alaska are Princess Cruises and Holland America , which are sister lines that control a large percentage of the market.

Still, Norwegian typically sends three to five vessels to Alaska every summer, and its big, activity-filled ships are a popular pick with families looking to visit the destination.

The Alaska cruise season is a short one, lasting roughly from May to early October.

For 2024, Norwegian plans to deploy four ships to the Alaska market for the full season:

• Norwegian Encore : Norwegian’s biggest vessel will operate seven-night voyages to Alaska round trip out of Seattle. It will call at the Alaska towns of Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan, plus Victoria, British Columbia. It will also visit Alaska’s Glacier Bay National Park for glacier viewing.
• Norwegian Sun: This ship will operate a mix of nine- to 11-night sailings to Alaska out of Seattle. The list of port calls varies based on the length of the trips.
• Norwegian Bliss : The 4,002-passenger vessel will operate seven-night voyages to Alaska round trip out of Seattle. On most sailings, it will call at Sitka, Juneau, Ketchikan and Icy Strait Point in Alaska, plus Victoria, British Columbia. It will also visit Alaska’s Endicott Arm for glacier viewing. Some sailings at the start and end of the season substitute a visit to Skagway and Glacier Bay National Park for the stops in Sitka and Icy Strait Point, and drop the visit to Endicott Arm.
• Norwegian Jewel. The 2,376-passenger ship will operate one-way voyages to Alaska between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Seward, Alaska. The trips typically include stops in Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan, plus a visit to either Glacier Bay National Park or Icy Strait Point.

In recent years, the 2,018-passenger Norwegian Spirit also has spent its summers sailing in Alaska, but its Alaska voyages for 2024 were canceled as a result of the vessel being chartered to another company.

The appeal of the one-way sailings on Norwegian Jewel is that they can be combined with Norwegian-organized land tours of Alaska lasting from three to six days to create 10- to 13-night “cruisetours.”

The land tour portion of such trips brings visits to such well-known interior Alaska locations as Denali National Park and the town of Fairbanks.

Norwegian usually deploys two ships on Bermuda runs every year — one out of New York City and one out of Boston.

In both cases, the sailings offered are mostly seven nights in length and include a two-night stay in Bermuda.

For 2024, Norwegian will devote one of its biggest and newest ships, the 3,802-passenger Norwegian Joy, to Bermuda. It will run out of New York. The line’s 2,394-passenger Norwegian Gem will sail to Bermuda out of Boston.

In addition, the line’s 3,969-passenger Norwegian Getaway will operate a handful of sailings to Bermuda out of New York during the early part of 2024, and the 3,963-passenger Norwegian Breakaway will operate a few sailings to Bermuda out of New York toward the end of 2024.

The line’s relatively new Norwegian Prima will operate a single Bermuda sailing out of New York at the end of 2024.

While most of Norwegian’s Bermuda sailings are seven nights in length, the line also sometimes offers a few shorter four- and five-night Bermuda sailings and, occasionally, a longer, nine-night Bermuda sailing.

Note that the shorter Bermuda sailings can offer very little time in the country, sometimes as few as nine hours.

Bottom line

Norwegian offers a wide range of itineraries in destinations around the world, from the Caribbean to Asia. However, you’ll find the most choices among Norwegian itineraries in the Caribbean and Europe.

The line is also well-known for voyages around Hawaii and to Bermuda. Its Hawaii sailings, in particular, are something of a rarity in the industry.
