| Picturesque Bermuda |
Over the past year, Bermuda has seen a reduction in the number of cruise passengers arriving.
The reduction has was mainly due to:
- Holland America choosing to deploy the Veendam in Boston instead of New York choosing to go to New England Canada instead of Bermuda.
- Royal Caribbean has also reduced the number of Bermuda sailings both out of New York and Baltimore in favor of Florida and Bahamas cruises.
In addition to these planned changes,
- Bermuda lost 4 calls at the island by the Emerald Princess. The change was due to repairs to the Heritage Wharf which meant the the ship would need to tender in passengers instead of docking.
- Three sailings were cancelled due to the fire onboard the Grandeur of the Seas.
The losses were partially offset by the new and larger Norwegian Breakaway calling at the island and bringing more passengers than the previous Norwegian Gem and Norwegian Star.
The second quarter ended with 133,676 cruise passengers arriving. A 17% decrease over last year.
