penguinfrog Posted March 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Will be heading to Bermuda shortly on the Prima. Had heard that NCL offers a ferry shuttle to St. George from the Dockyard. Is that true? I hope so since the Bermuda ferry service from Dockyard to St. George doesn't start for another week. Would appreciate any info you may have.

All4Fun. Posted March 24, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2023 It does not appear that the NCL ferry has arrived at the Dockyard for the 2023 season as of yet. My guess it starts running early April. See the attached link to port webcam. You will be able to see it docked on the inside of the first dock,Heritage Wharf I think. https://www.portbermudawebcam.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All4Fun. Posted March 24, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Here’s a pic of the ferry in the foreground and where it ties up when at the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's been there and operating all winter whenever there's been an NCL cruise in port...which hasn't been that often as many were cancelled due to high wind conditions. It was running today as scheduled with the Norwegian Gem being in port. Edited March 24, 2023 by njhorseman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no ships or boats of any type currently docked at Heritage Wharf. Edited March 24, 2023 by njhorseman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a screenshot from MarineTraffic a few minutes ago showing that what you say is true. Docked in St. George. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All4Fun. Posted March 24, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Thanks for that information. I didn’t realize it was in St. George’s. We will be on the Pearl arriving 4/3 and glad it will be running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be back to Bermuda in january 2024...finally I understand that the Bermuda ferry to St-Georges is not in service in winter, correct ? Does the ferry to Hamilton work in winter ? In any case, there is now a NCL ferry ( I didn't know that ) and it would be active when we dock in Bermuda ? First time to Bermuda for my kids and we only have a 7h long stay, so being efficient will be the key ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bermuda public ferry from Dockyard to Hamilton operates year round but less frequently in winter than in summer. Assuming nothing changes next year the NCL ferry to St. George's should be operating when you're in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konomama Posted February 22 #15 Share Posted February 22 Arriving on the NCL Joy on May 1st. Not sure if the orange ferry will be up and running. Is the NCL free ferry/tender from Dockyard to St-George still offered? Anyone used it in 2024? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
