Good news for all those cruising to Bermuda on a NorwegianCruise Line ship this year. Norwegian Cruise Line has just begun providing
ferry service, exclusively for their guests, between Bermuda’s Royal Naval
Dockyard (where the NCL ships dock) and the quaint town of St. George’s.
The Dockyard area is a bit of a distance from tourist and
resort areas including St. George’s and the capital city of Hamilton. Residents and cruisers alike have complained about
the crowded public transportation to access these areas as well as Bermuda
beaches. Although taxis are lined up at the dock when the ships are in, they
can be rather costly.
The well-preserved historic town and nearby fortress make
St. George's and the East End of Bermuda a haven for British colonial architecture,
history and culture. It seems logical that once cruisers have more accessible
transportation options to St George’s, the influx of tourists will lead to
additional shops and restaurants, (providing a boost to the St. George’s
economy). Nearby, there are many unique natural attractions, including
Clearwater Beach and the limestone formations of Tobacco Bay Beach.
