Do I need a passport for Bermuda as a US citizen?
Yes — a valid US passport is required. A passport card is not accepted for air travel. No visa is needed for US citizens for stays up to 180 days. Travel insurance is highly recommended.
Is Bermuda expensive?
Bermuda is one of the more expensive Atlantic destinations — expect premium prices for food, transport, and accommodation. However, the no-visa hassle, close proximity to Florida, and exceptional quality make it exceptional value for a luxury short-haul escape. Our packages combine airfare + hotel for the best pricing.
What's the difference between Bermuda and the Bahamas?
Bermuda is in the North Atlantic (not the Caribbean) — it's British, has pink sand beaches, and is more upscale and sophisticated. The Bahamas are tropical Caribbean islands with clear turquoise water, more casual, and generally more affordable. Both are excellent — Bermuda tends to attract repeat Caribbean visitors looking for something new.
Best time to visit Bermuda?
May–September is peak season with warm water (78-82°F) perfect for swimming. June–July is especially beautiful. Spring (April-May) is excellent for shoulder season rates with fewer crowds. Winter months are cooler (60s°F) but great for golfers and couples seeking quiet romance.
