How do you cover the whole Island of Bermuda in a very short time if visiting via a large cruise ship? Many cruises from the East Coast sail directly to Bermuda for an entire itinerary. Some of the cruise lines sailing out of New York City (including NCL and Princess) include a stop in Bermuda on the way down or coming back from the Caribbean. Bermuda can be broken down into three major tourist hubs (not counting all of the beaches): The West End (King’s Wharf), Hamilton, and St. George.
The larger cruise ships dock at The West End (King's Wharf). For those passengers wanting to visit St George, they will find that this is quite the trek across the island. (The original settlement of Bermuda began in St. George nearly 400 years ago.) I have found three ways to get there via public transportation.
1) Bus from The West End (King's Wharf) to St. George
Runs all day but a long, long ride (but, hey you are in Bermuda).
2) Ferry to Hamilton and then bus to St. George
A little more complex, but you can work in a visit while in Hamilton after your visit to St George.
3) Direct Ferry access to St. George
By far the quickest way to St George is with direct ferry service right from The West End. Bear in mind that the last direct ferry back to The West End is in the afternoon, so if you would like to experience direct ferry service plan on departing for St George first thing in the morning.
Hope this is helpful.
