NCL ferry form Dockyard to St. George

[penguinfrog]

Will be heading to Bermuda shortly on the Prima.  Had heard that NCL offers a ferry shuttle to St. George from the Dockyard. Is that true? I hope so since the Bermuda ferry service from Dockyard to St. George doesn't start for another week.  Would appreciate any info you may have.

Yes it is true. NCL runs a free ferry for NCL passengers to St. George’s from the Dockyard. They will give you schedule info onboard.

It does not appear that the NCL ferry has arrived at the Dockyard for the 2023 season as of yet. My guess it starts running early April.

See the attached link to port webcam. You will be able to see it docked on the inside of the first dock,Heritage Wharf I think.

Here’s a pic of the ferry in the foreground and where it ties up when at the dock.

No it's been there and operating all winter whenever there's been an NCL cruise in port...which hasn't been that often as many  were cancelled due to high wind conditions.

 

It was running today as scheduled with the Norwegian Gem being in port.

No, it's currently docked in St. George, which is its normal docking location when no ship is in port.

There are no ships or boats of any type currently docked at Heritage Wharf.

Here is a screenshot from MarineTraffic a few minutes ago showing that what you say is true. Docked in St. George.

Thanks for that information. I didn’t realize it was in St. George’s. We will be on the Pearl arriving 4/3 and glad it will be running

Again, thank you.

I will be back to Bermuda in january 2024...finally

 

I understand that the Bermuda ferry to St-Georges is not in service in winter, correct ?

 

Does the ferry to Hamilton work in winter ?

 

In any case, there is now a NCL ferry ( I didn't know that ) and it would be active when we dock in Bermuda ?

 

First time to Bermuda for my kids and we only have a 7h long stay, so being efficient will be the key !

The Bermuda public ferry from Dockyard to St. George's doesn’t operate in the winter. The Bermuda public ferry from Dockyard to Hamilton operates year round but less frequently in winter than in summer.

Assuming nothing changes next year the NCL ferry to St. George's should be operating when you're in port.

Does the NCL free ferry run on weekends?

It runs whenever there's an NCL ship in port, weather permitting.

Arriving on the NCL Joy on May 1st. Not sure if the orange ferry will be up and running.

Is the NCL free ferry/tender from Dockyard to St-George still offered?

Anyone used it in 2024?
