Destination: King's Wharf, Bermuda!
Step off the ship and enter the beautiful and historical British colony of Bermuda! Turquoise waters surround this mid-Atlantic volcanic* oasis that rose from the sea centuries ago. Explore the underwater world or stroll around the historic streets of St. George's. Relax on a pink-sand beach or swim in the cool waters. From sailing to shopping to sunbathing, the only thing you'll want in Bermuda is more time!
During the days, join us on a JDate-exclusive excursion or grab a cab and seek out your own adventures with your new JDate friends. At night we'll have a JDate-exclusive party where we'll dance to island sounds and sip fruity cocktails deep into the night.
King's Wharf
We'll dock at King's Wharf, better known as the Royal Naval Dockyard, located on the western-most tip of the island. Just walking distance from the pier you will find the Clocktower Shopping Mall, a great place to discover Bermuda's treasures in boutique stores and art galleries. Be sure not to miss the Bermuda Maritime Museum with exhibits featuring Bermuda's rich nautical history and Dolphin Quest, an interactive adventure where you can play with dolphins both in and out of the water! For the duffers onboard, play a round at Port Royal Golf Course, a great public course where you can hack your way through the palm trees. Need a drink or some fish and chips, mate? The Frog and Onion Pub at the Dockyard is a great place for traditional British fare – we are on a British colony after all!
Hamilton and St. George's
Hamilton, Bermuda's pastel-shaded capital, is a 20-minute ferry ride away from King's Wharf and home to countless shops, restaurants and taverns. Spend some time in this friendly town exploring the ferry terminal, the oh-so-elegant Royal Yacht Club and Historical Museum or take a ride in a horse-drawn "surrey with a fringe on top." A quick 15-minute stroll away is the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute, a state-of-the-art facility showcasing Bermuda's natural wonders.
St. George's is a 40-minute ferry ride away and is the fifth oldest European municipality in the Western Hemisphere. Here you can stroll though cobblestone streets with storefronts and houses from as far back as 1619! Also be sure not to miss the Deliverance II, a replica of the 400-year-old ship that sailed from Bermuda to the New World in 1610. Another popular destination is Rogues and Runners (formerly the Confederate Museum) with displays, maps and memorabilia recounting Bermuda's role in the American Civil War.
