Three days ashore on an island that redefines the word 'escape.'
Bermuda sails from the New York area through late spring and early summer, and the distinction that matters is berth time: look for three full days docked at the Royal Naval Dockyard rather than a single-day call. Three days and nights is enough to take the island at your own pace: Horseshoe Bay's pink sand, the crystal caves beneath the surface, Front Street's pastel shopfronts in Hamilton, and UNESCO-listed St. George's. The Statue of Liberty sail-away from New York Harbour sets the tone for the rest of it.
The embarkation port, just across the harbor from Lower Manhattan. The Statue of Liberty sail-away, passing Lady Liberty as the ship heads to open ocean, is one of the great departure moments in cruising.

Three full days here. The 19th-century British naval base has been transformed into Bermuda's main port area, with the National Museum, Clocktower Mall, and Snorkel Park beach all within walking distance of the ship.
Rent a scooter and ride to Horseshoe Bay Beach, the most photographed beach on the island
The capital city: compact, colorful, and walkable. Front Street's pastel buildings house boutiques, restaurants, and bars. The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute is worth the visit.

The oldest English settlement in the New World (1612) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Narrow alleys, unfinished churches, and Tobacco Bay, a sheltered cove perfect for snorkeling.
