njhorseman Posted March 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2017 http://www.royalgazette.com/news/article/20170322/cruise-line-commits-56-visits-per-year http://bernews.com/2017/03/ncl-charter-tender-vessel-on-temporary-basis/ This news is essentially an update on what was reported in 2016. 56 is the total for all three lines...NCL, Oceania and Regent Seven Seas. It also appears as though this summer NCLH will lease a tender to serve its passengers between Dockyard and St. George, with two new tenders being built for service that would start in 2018.

I am glad for St. George's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL's Veendam; 6 visits in 2017 plus a few upscale cruise ships.SBtS If I haven't miscounted, there are a total of 26 scheduled cruise ship visits to Hamilton in 2017, as well as 14 to St. George. Some are the same ship docking both places on a single voyage, as was common years ago. The numbers started increasing a couple of years ago when Bermuda permitted cruise ship casinos to open at night while in port, and bumped up more this year with NCLH committing both Oceania and Regent Seven Seas ships to call on Bermuda.

blue_water Posted March 23, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks. When staying on BDM and visiting Hamilton for lunch we see the HAL ship there and it looks like a great port as compared to King's Wharf. We rarely cruise anymore but the Veendam may be a nice anniversary present... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted March 29, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Already answered in post #7.SBtS IN addition to your response, I added the fact Veendam sails from Boston. Perhaps that is of interest to someone reading this Bermuda forum.:halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted March 29, 2017 #14 Share Posted March 29, 2017 We prefer a younger cruise vibe, but I guess this would be a good time to try a HAL cruise since we would be off the ship for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been on Veendam twice to Bermuda from New York and the vibe was about the same as Celebrity to Bermuda from New York. Don't know what it is out of Boston.
