This is a short video on Kings Wharf Port (i.e. Royal Naval Dockyard) of Bermuda showing the various tourist attractions & activities. For details, go through [ Ссылка ]
There are two berths in Dockyard - Kings Wharf (which is the first pier built in the early 1800s) and Heritage Wharf which was added later in 2009. Since Kings Wharf was the first berth to operate, most cruise lines continue to show the destination as Kings Wharf and the port which is actually known as Royal Naval Dockyard is also known as Kings Wharf Port.
The 24-acre port area served the British Royal Navy from the early 1800s for over 100 years. It's a large compound that consists of a fortress known as The Keep covering 6 acres which now houses the National Museum of Bermuda, Dolphin Quest (a dolphin training & display centre) located within the fort area, large Clocktower Mall with many boutique shops, several other standalone shops, restaurants, eateries, bars & pubs etc.
There is a ferry dock in the dockyard located close to the cruise piers. Tourists can take a ferry and reach out to Hamilton City in 20 minutes and St. George in 35 minutes enjoying scenic ferry rides on the Atlantic. Buses and taxis are also available to get to various lovely South Shore beaches as well as to Hamilton and other parts of the island.
There are numerous tour operators that operate out of dockyard during the cruise season... such tours include private minibus sightseeing tours, taxi tours, boating and sailing tours of various types some of which include water activities like swimming, snorkelling, etc. You can also rent a scooter or a mini electric car from the dockyard itself to explore the island on your own.
