Cruises from Baltimore to Bermuda

Which lines sail from Baltimore to Bermuda?

• Carnival Cruise Line
  Laid-back, loud in the best way and unpretentious; flip-flops, burgers by the pool and a comedy show after dinner.
• Royal Caribbean International
  Energetic, family-friendly and packed with headline attractions; think floating theme park with a good Broadway show at night.

Most Bermuda cruises run from April or May through October, with a few into November. May through July is warm with lower storm risk. August through October is the peak of Atlantic hurricane season and storms near Bermuda do occur.

Bermuda is in the Atlantic hurricane zone (June 1 to November 30) and storms often curve past the island in August, September and October. The open-ocean crossing from the Northeast can be rough in spring and fall, so bring motion-sickness remedies.

Where you'll stop

Itineraries vary by line and length. These are the ports Bermuda cruises most often visit:

• Royal Naval Dockyard (King's Wharf), Bermuda: The main cruise berth, with a historic fort, museum, shops, beaches nearby and ferries to Hamilton and St. George's.
• Hamilton, Bermuda: The capital, with Front Street shopping and restaurants; a short ferry from Dockyard and occasionally a berth for smaller ships.
• St. George's, Bermuda: A UNESCO-listed 17th-century town with narrow lanes and forts; a berth for small ships and a bus or ferry ride for others.

Before you sail from Baltimore

From the south, take I-95 north to Exit 55 (Key Highway) and continue on East McComas Street to the entrance on the right. From the north, take I-95 south through the Fort McHenry Tunnel in the far right lane, then Exit 55 and turn left onto East McComas Street. From BWI, a taxi or rideshare is roughly 15 to 20 minutes.

Cruise Maryland runs secured long-term lots within walking distance of the terminal, with accessible spaces. No reservation is needed. As of October 2026, Cruise Maryland lists $25 per night for cars and SUVs (the rate in effect since April 1, 2026), with higher rates for RVs. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard or Discover on arrival. Drop your luggage at the screening area first (tags are available at a tent at the entrance), then park.

• Drop luggage before you park; the terminal routes you to the bag drop first.
• Bring Visa, Mastercard or Discover for parking; American Express is not listed as accepted.
• Pack warm layers for winter sailings; the first day or two can be chilly.
• Check whether Royal Caribbean is sailing in your travel month, since its Baltimore season is not year-round.

Documents: Cruises that begin and end at the same US port are "closed-loop" sailings. U.S. Customs and Border Protection says US citizens on a closed-loop cruise can re-enter the United States with a birth certificate plus a government-issued photo ID, and children under 16 need only proof of citizenship such as a birth certificate (most lines want an original or certified copy, not a photocopy). CBP also warns that the countries your ship visits may still ask for a passport, and cruise lines can set stricter rules than the government does. We recommend a passport book anyway: if you miss the ship or have to fly home early from a foreign port, you cannot board an international flight without one, and a passport card works only for land and sea crossings. Non-US citizens, including green card holders, have different rules. Check current requirements with your cruise line and the State Department before you sail.
