Saint George's Parish Transportation Tips by grandmaR

Narrow Passage

In the old days when there were smaller cruise ships, the ships often came into St. George to dock. The channel though which the cruise ships enter is at the eastern end next to the Paget Island. But the channel leading to St. George has narrowed down considerably and also become quite shallow. Only small to medium size passenger ships can enter the harbor these days. Most of the large ships dock at the Royal Naval Dockyard at Ireland Island located at the west end of Bermuda.

We did it once in the NCL Crown, but on a later cruise, the Crown got stuck in the channel and had to wait for high tide to get off. That also meant that the other ship in the harbor had to wait to get out

The channel and the ship entry can be easily seen from Gates Fort.
