on
December 26, 2022

There is a lot to see and do right around where your ship docks in Bermuda. This area is known as the Royal Navy Dockyard. It served as a Royal Navy base from 1795-1995 and was used in the War of 1812, WWI, WWII, as well as during the Cold War.

When you have had all the fun you can stand, or when you’re ship is about to leave the dockyard, you can just take the tunnel out of the Fun Zone. It’s a short walk back to the ship from there.

That concludes my presentation of the Royal Navy Dockyard. As you can see there is a lot of food, drinks, shopping and fun just steps from your ship in Bermuda.
