Program Overview
Cape Liberty, NJ (New York, NY)
Your cruise documents will say Cape Liberty, New Jersey, but let's be perfectly honest: the true destination here is New York City. Sailing from this port without dedicating a few days to the city that never sleeps is like visiting a grand library and only reading the table of contents. As your travel advisors, we consider a pre- or post-cruise stay in Manhattan not just an option, but an essential part of the experience. It transforms your vacation from a wonderful sea voyage into an unforgettable land-and-sea journey.
Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda
The Royal Naval Dockyard is a destination in its own right, a sprawling 19th-century naval fortress repurposed as Bermuda's primary cruise port. While its stone walls contain a number of attractions, its true value is as an efficient and scenic gateway to the rest of the island.
Within the Dockyard's immediate, walkable vicinity, the main highlight is the National Museum of Bermuda. Housed within the formidable Keep, it offers a comprehensive look at the island's maritime legacy, with the restored Commissioner's House providing panoramic ocean views. For a taste of local creativity, observe glassblowers at the Dockyard Glassworks or browse authentic goods at the Bermuda Craft Market. The historic Frog & Onion Pub, set in an 18th-century cooperage, offers a convenient spot for a meal.
To experience Bermuda's iconic pink-sand beaches, you must venture beyond the Dockyard. The island's excellent public transportation makes this straightforward. The fast ferry is the most scenic and popular option, offering direct service to the capital city of Hamilton—ideal for exploring Front Street's shops and restaurants—and a longer, picturesque route to the UNESCO World Heritage site of St. George's. For the famous South Shore beaches, including the world-renowned Horseshoe Bay, public buses and shuttles provide regular service from the Dockyard's transportation hub. Taxis are also readily available.
Consider the Dockyard your well-equipped basecamp for a day of island exploration. Its historical significance is genuine, but the celebrated landscapes of Bermuda await just a short ferry or bus ride away
