Bermuda cruises in August
August is the warmest month, and the water is at its best for snorkeling wrecks and reefs. Hurricane activity rises, and Bermuda sits in a part of the Atlantic where many storms curve north, so the occasional sailing is delayed or rerouted. Fares soften once schools return toward the end of the month.
