Cruise giant Carnival doubles down on sailings to Bermuda

Cruise giant Carnival is significantly expanding its presence in the Bermuda cruise market.

The world's second largest cruise line on Tuesday announced plans for more Bermuda cruises in 2025 than it has ever offered in a single year — 22 sailings in all.

That's up from 14 sailings to Bermuda scheduled for 2024 and more than double the number of Bermuda sailings the line regularly offered just a few years ago.

For more cruise news, guides and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

The Bermuda sailings will take place on a trio of Carnival ships based in three of Carnival's East Coast hubs: New York City; Norfolk, Virginia; and Baltimore, Maryland.

Eight of the 22 sailings will be operated by Carnival Venezia, a new, 4,090-passenger Carnival vessel that the line has based year-round in New York . It's a newer and larger ship than Carnival has stationed in the city in the past, and it's offering a wide range of itineraries to not just Bermuda but also the Bahamas, the Caribbean, New England and Canada.

Carnival on Tuesday also announced that Carnival Venezia would offer a range of new eight-, nine- and 10-day Eastern Caribbean itineraries out of New York in 2025, with stops in San Juan, Puerto Rico; Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; St. Maarten; Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas and the new Celebration Key private beach getaway the line is developing in the Bahamas.

The newly announced 2025 Bermuda sailings from Norfolk, Virginia, will take place on the 3,006-passenger Carnival Sunshine. The 2,124-passenger Carnival Pride will operate the sailings from Baltimore.

The 22 Bermuda departures planned for 2025 include:

• Four-day routings from New York that include a single day in Bermuda
• Five-day trips from New York with a two-day stay in Bermuda
• Six-day trips from Norfolk that include a two-day stay in Bermuda
• Seven-day trips from Baltimore with three days in Bermuda

In addition, two Carnival ships crossing the Atlantic in 2025 from Europe to North America — the 2,980-passenger Carnival Glory and 2,124-passenger Carnival Spirit — will make stops in Bermuda on their way westward.

Including those two sailings, Carnival will have 24 itineraries in 2025 that touch Bermuda.

Fares for the newly announced Bermuda sailings start at $429 per person, based on double occupancy, for the four-night sailings from New York. The six- and seven-night sailings start at $619 and $769 per person, based on double occupancy, respectively.

The fares don't include taxes, fees and port charges of as much as $249.65 per person.

Balcony (7A)

An Obstructed View Balcony stateroom on Carnival Legend provides all the indoor amenities of a Carnival stateroom, as well as some of the outdoor ones as well, including your own personal outdoor space that's great for stretching out and relaxing.

Balcony (BL)

Any balcony stateroom, or better, depending on availability.

Balcony (8A)

Balcony staterooms were designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you're looking to cruise aboard Carnival Legend. Any time you're in your room, you're just steps away from your own personal outdoor oasis, featuring the sort of sea view you can also feel.

Balcony (8B)

Balcony (8c), balcony (8d), balcony (8e), balcony (8f).

Balcony (8M)

Extended Balcony staterooms feature a larger balcony with more lounge-around room, more kick-back space, and all the Carnival stateroom amenities: a full private bathroom, Carnival Comfort Collection linens and just-a-call-away 24-hour room service.

Balcony (8N)

Balcony (8J)

Balcony (8k).

Balcony (9A)

Step into a Premium Balcony stateroom aboard Carnival Legend and it's easy to see exactly what you're getting: one seriously spacious stateroom. It's about more than just the room itself, you'll find... step onto your oversized balcony and you'll find that when there's a sea breeze in your hair, there's no limit to the relaxation you can have.

Balcony (9B)

Inside (4A)

An Interior stateroom is the most affordable way to cruise, and Carnival Legend's interiors are not just cozy, but are full of things you'd expect from any Carnival stateroom: a full private bathroom, Carnival Comfort Collection linens and just-a-call-away 24-hour room service.

Inside (4B)

Inside (4c), inside (4d), inside (4e), inside (is).

Any inside stateroom, or better, dependng on availability.

Inside (4K)

When is an Interior stateroom more than an Interior stateroom? When one comes with a floor-to-ceiling window, letting sunlight stream into your stateroom. Your room will also feature even more space, a sky view through that window of yours, plus a seating area to enjoy it from. (Note that the view will be obstructed.)

Oceanview (OV)

Any ocean view stateroom, or better, depending on availability.

Oceanview (6A)

Catch a glimpse of what's going by from your Ocean View stateroom aboard Carnival Legend, where you'll get views you won't find anywhere on land. Don't miss sunrise and sunset at sea - your comfy stateroom is the best way to experience these!

A Carnival Legend suite is the ultimate way to cruise. With more space for stretching out indoors, plus a large balcony for kicking back outdoors, try an Ocean Suite to experience private, luxurious relaxation. Ocean Suites also include VIP check-in, walk-in closet and bathroom with whirlpool.

A Grand Suite aboard Carnival Legend features even more space than the standard suite - plenty of room in your room! This stateroom is loaded for an unparalleled experience: VIP check-in, a huge balcony, and even a convenient dressing area with vanity.

Any suite, depending on availability.

As you step into a Junior Suite aboard Carnival Legend, you can't help but feel that you're stepping into full-size luxury in a smaller package. Featuring a standard-size balcony, in a Carnival Legend Junior Suite you'll find everything else there is to love about a suite, including VIP check-in, a walk-in closet... and even a whirlpool tub for relaxing.

Don’t get us wrong — a Carnival Legend Vista Suite stateroom is a lovely room with all the suite fixings. But the thing to see here is truly the view that your balcony affords you. A Vista Suite features a wraparound balcony that provides wide, stunning views when you’re outside, and a uniquely panoramic inside view thanks to a wall of windows that brings more of that outside inside.

Cruises from Baltimore to Bermuda

Due to its location on Maryland’s coast, Baltimore has become one of the most popular starting points for cruises to Bermuda. Let’s take a closer look at cruising to Bermuda from Charm City.

How To Get To The Baltimore Cruise Port

The Baltimore Cruise Port is conveniently located along I-95 only about a 5-minute drive from Downtown Baltimore. If you’re flying into Baltimore International Airport (IATA: BWI), then you’re only a 10-minute drive to the Baltimore Cruise Port.

Anyone traveling into BWI might consider taking a taxi or ride-share vehicle directly to the Port of Baltimore. Although prices could fluctuate, a standard taxi rate from BWI to the port is about $15.

Another popular way to get from BWI to the Port of Baltimore is to hop on your cruise line’s dedicated shuttle service. Both Royal Caribbean and Carnival now offer shuttle transportation for between $25 – $40 one-way.

Also, keep in mind that many of Baltimore's hotels now offer transportation to the city's cruise port. Be sure to look into your hotel's offerings if you plan on staying in Baltimore before your cruise.

People who are driving to the Baltimore Cruise Port will find ample parking in the port's main garage. Currently, it costs $15 per cruise night to park a standard car at the Baltimore Cruise Port. If you have a vehicle that's 30 feet long or longer, you'll have to pay between $30 – $40 per night.

By the way, here’s the official address of Baltimore Cruise Port:

2001 East McComas Street

Baltimore, MD, 21230

What’s The Best Time To Visit Bermuda?

Most travel experts recommend booking a trip to Bermuda in the early spring. During these months, daily temps hover between 60° F – 75°F, and there's relatively little rain. Plus, since early spring is considered the "offseason," tourists usually enjoy cheaper cruise rates.

The most popular time to visit Bermuda is during the summer and early fall. Although the temps are warmer during these months, there’s also a higher chance of precipitation. Of course, you also have to pay close attention to the threat of hurricanes if you’re visiting during these seasons.

For those who don’t mind average temps in the 60s, you might enjoy a wintertime trip to Bermuda. Although you won’t be able to swim in Bermuda’s lovely waters, you can still enjoy eating, touring, and golfing.

What Are The Top Ports Of Call In Bermuda?

Although Bermuda has three important ports, it’s most likely your ship will dock at the Royal Naval Dockyard. Situated on the westernmost tip of the southern Sandys Parish, the Royal Naval Dockyard is the only port that can handle big cruise ships.

Less frequently, cruise ships could dock by the capital city Hamilton in the central Pembroke Parish. There’s also a cruise port in the northeastern Town of Saint George known as St. George’s Port.

No matter where you land, Bermuda is easy to navigate via buses, taxis, or rental cars. Indeed, it only takes about an hour to drive from Sandys Parish in the south to St. George’s Port in the north.

What Is There To Do In Bermuda?

Bermuda has been a tourist getaway since the Victorian era, so you can bet there are plenty of ways to amuse yourself once you get here. A few of the most popular things to do in Bermuda are as follows:

• See the famous pink sand on Horseshoe Bay Beach.
• Climb to the top of Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse.
• Play a few rounds of golf on Bermuda’s pristine courses.
• Enjoy British Colonial architecture in the UNESCO-protected Town of St. George.
• See remarkable rock formations at the Crystal Caves & Fantasy Caves.
• Take the kids to the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum, and Zoo.
• Explore 500 years of history at the National Museum of Bermuda.

What’s The Currency In Bermuda?

Considering Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory, you might assume locals use the British Pound Sterling for money. Interestingly, Bermuda has its own currency creatively named the Bermudian Dollar. 

Even more surprising, both the Bermudian Dollar and the US Dollar trade at the same rate. So, it is possible to use US Dollars on your Bermuda vacation. 

Safety Tip: Always Look To Your Left!

As you walk around Bermuda’s many towns, please remember that people drive on the left-hand side of the road. North American visitors should get in the habit of looking on both sides of the road before crossing.

7 Most Affordable Cruise Lines That’ll Make Your Cruising Dreams Come True

Posted: October 2, 2023 | Last updated: October 2, 2023

The cheapest cruise lines

Cruising is often described as the ultimate relaxing vacation. You only unpack once, yet you wake up in a new country or island every morning. You also never have to worry about where to eat, there are nonstop activities onboard that keep everyone entertained—and most everything is included in the price. So you don't have to worry much about overspending once you're on board if you book on one of the most affordable cruise lines.

Of course, everything is more expensive these days, leaving some travelers to wonder if there are still affordable cruises available to meet their vacation budgets. Thankfully, that answer is yes, and there are several brands that still provide exceptional value aboard their floating cities. Many are among the best cruise lines , and some are even frequent cruisers' favorite cruises . In fact, you might be surprised to learn that living on a cruise ship can be cheaper than a mortgage , in case you decide you never want to return from your vacation.

So follow these cruise tips for how to save money on a cruise by booking the most affordable cruise lines. You may even be able to sneak in an extra vacation this year with all your savings. Here's what to pack for a cruise .

How much does a cheap cruise cost?

Cheap cruises usually range in price from $40 to $100 per night per person. To put that deal in perspective, imagine having your accommodations, food and entertainment covered for roughly $50 a day on a traditional land-based trip—you'd be hard-pressed to stay within that budget just for your meals. It's truly impressive that these all-inclusive cruises can charge so little.

But before you get too excited over these low prices, don't forget to factor in the cost of the extras when calculating your total expenses—that's one of the secrets cruise lines won't tell you . Things like drinks, shore excursions, gratuities, spa treatments, specialty dining, airfare, photos, taxes and port fees aren't included and can add up quickly.

Finally, keep in mind that the best deals will always be for an inside cabin, which means you won't have a porthole (let alone a balcony) for natural light. The good news? You'll sleep like a baby in total darkness, especially during an afternoon nap.

When is the cheapest time to book a cruise?

It's important to pay attention to the cheapest times to book a cruise if you want to save even more. Wave season, which is from January to March, is a promotional time of year when cruise lines run their most competitive sales. These sales are designed to encourage bookings for later in the year. You can also keep an eye on sites like MSC's Cruise Deals to find great prices.

There are great deals at other times of the year too. Generally speaking, the further in advance you book, the better prices you'll find. But the opposite is also true, because cruise lines will happily sell unused inventory at a significantly reduced rate in the form of last-minute deals. You'll need a flexible schedule to pull this off, and you may find airfare is too costly at that point.

Beyond wave season, planning far in advance or nabbing last-minute cruise deals, it's also wise to consider booking your cruises for the off-season. For instance, for the Caribbean and Mexico, that would mean summer sailings or during shoulder season (the month before and after high season—for example, in the case of Alaska, this would be in May or September). Just know that you are taking a bit of a risk with the weather during these off-peak times.

MSC Cruises

MSC Cruises offers sailings out of the U.S. (New York, Miami and Orlando) to the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Bermuda, New England and Canada. It also offers sailings to Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Egypt, Dubai, South Africa and more.

Cost: Cruises on MSC start as low as $129 per person.

Specials to watch for: MSC offers such limited-time specials as free drinks and Wi-Fi plus up to $200 onboard credit (which can be used to book extras like shore excursions or spa treatments).

Other savings to consider: You won't find an adults-only cruise here, however this cruise line does offer a Kids Sail Free program, which means that all children under 18 traveling in the same cabin as their parents travel free all year-round.

Get to Know Carnival Pride

Carnival Pride charms, alright — it's a treat for your eyes, your taste buds... and of course, your fun buds. Invite them all to come enjoy the vacation that this ship is proud to offer. Carnival Pride invites you to dine refined, from the zen-like simplicity of Bonsai Sushi ™ to the art deco ocean liner inspiration of the Normandie Restaurant, to the American-Traditional style of Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse. And of course there's real, delectable substance under all that style. But for something a little more casual, loosen your tie... or maybe just throw it away and grab a main course (and fries) from our main man Guy Fieri, at Guy's Burger Joint ™ . The Mexican heat's optional at BlueIguana Cantina ™ , but make your next stop Cherry on Top ™ — our candy-and-more store — where everything's sweet. And to raise a glass to important sacrifices of the past, Heroes Tribute Bar makes remembrance its primary objective. You'll find yourself with room to move at the Beauties Dance Club, and a hard time sitting still at Playlist Productions ™ . All around this cruise ship you'll discover even more ways to stay cool, like an adult-only pool at Serenity, a fun-only midship pool featuring a retractable roof, plus Carnival Pride's splashy onboard waterpark, Carnival WaterWorks ™ . And if all the waterslide action leaves you needing a little extra unwinding, we recommend you dry off and head to the Cloud 9 Spa ™ . Alongside the pool is the big-screen, big-fun Carnival Seaside Theater ™ , while Seuss at Sea ™ is a good time for kids who love a good rhyme too. (Like we do!) Camp Ocean ® , Circle "C" ® and Club O2 ® prove that we've got spots for cool kids of all ages.
