Cruise ship tourism positively impacts Bermuda’s economy, as visitors shop, eat, drink and play during their Island visits.Most seasonal cruise ship arrivals come from the United States, docking between the months of April and October. Popular U.S. ports of departure include Baltimore, Maryland; New York, New York; Boston, Massachusetts; and Charleston, South Carolina. Smaller cruise ships dock at St. George’s and in the City of Hamilton while large and mega-ships dock at the Royal Naval Dockyard.
