- NCLH drops plans for developing new destination in Bermuda
- MOU signed in July 2025 for Daniel’s Head Property
- Property is 18 acres in Sandys Parish
- BLMC states MOU did not constitute agreement to develop
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings is reportedly dropping plans to develop a new cruise destination at Bermuda’s Daniel’s Head Property. According to a report the cruise company signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with the Bermuda Land Management Company in July 2025 to assess the possibility of investing in the property. The plan was to transform Daniel’s Head into a first-class day tourism product. The 18-acre property is located in Sandys Parish approximately six kilometers away from the Royal Naval Dockyard cruise port.
In a statement a representative from BLMC stated that the MOU did not constitute an agreement to develop Daniel’s Head and did not include the granting of a lease. The discussions were exploratory with any potential development subject to further conceptual and financial evaluation as well as stakeholder engagement. BLMC thanked NCLH for their invested time and effort noting that Daniel’s Head remains an exciting opportunity for Bermuda.
The property has been underutilised for many years and there is now an opportunity to invite other experienced partners to put forward their vision for the site according to BLMC Chief Executive Officer Andrew Dias. He noted that the plan is to pursue a project that is commercially sound appropriate for the location and delivers meaningful benefits for the destination.
