Best Time to Cruise Bermuda: Month-by-Month Guide
Weather, water temperature, fares and hurricane season, so you can pick the right Bermuda sailing.
The best time to cruise Bermuda for most travelers is June: warm water, beach weather, and fares that are usually lower than July and August. For the lowest prices, look at spring and late fall, when the island is cooler but still pleasant for sightseeing.
June
Warm water, long days, and better value before peak school-vacation pricing.
July & August
Hottest weather and warmest water, with the highest demand and fares.
April, May & Late Fall
Lower fares and fewer crowds; water is cool for swimming but great for touring.

When to Book
Summer Bermuda sailings, especially family cabins and balconies, are best booked 9 to 12 months ahead. Spring and fall sailings often have good last-minute pricing, but the best cabins still go early. We watch fares after you book and can apply price drops or promotions when the cruise line allows it.
Departure Port Weather
Remember that you’re sailing from the Northeast. In April, May, October and November, the first and last days at sea can feel chilly and windy even when Bermuda is warm. Pack a jacket for deck time. See our Bermuda packing guide.
