Congrats-- you picked what I consider to be the best Bermuda cruise and itinerary available right now on the delightfully small Insignia. St Georges is on one far side of the island-- plenty of great beaches over there. Then the ship relocates early in the morning and you wake up in Hamilton, the main city on the island. You have a ton of time on this itinerary. What's worked for us on this itinerary in years past is to stay in the area of the island where the ship is-- when you're in St Georges go to Tobacco Bay and St Catherines Beach for swimming, grab drinks at the St Regis and Rosewood, hit the Swizzle Inn, etc. Then once the ship moves to Hamilton you don't have to spend time/money backtracking there and you can explore town or venture over to Horseshoe Bay beach, etc. 19 minutes ago, calicakes said: Will we have to take a Ferry to Kings Wharf for snorkeling? I can't find any snorkel excursions on Sunday. Please help No, frankly there is zero reason to go the Royal Naval Dockyard (where Kings Wharf is the name of one of the docks there) unless you want to. The Dockyard is on the other far side of the island and is where the mega ships have to dock. Insignia doesn't dock at the Dockyard or Kings Wharf and there is much better snorkeling in a host of other beaches you'll be closer to all over the island.

Thank you so much. So, basically, we will just do beach snorkeling on our own? No excursions needed? What beaches would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to check about Sunday. Also the Dockyard is only a 20 or 30 minutes ferry ride from Hamilton if there is an excursion you want to do from the Dockyard. https://www.islandtourcentre.com/snorkeling/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
