Merchant ships (includes cruise ships) are flagged in Bermuda regarded soil floating chips of Bermuda (Bermuda Merchant Shipping Act). A Crime Committed Bermuda ship was regarded IS To Have Occurred we Bermuda soil. If The Police go out to Investigate a crime was Bermuda ship, and arrest The suspect, how do you get him back to Bermuda for prosecution, Keeping in Mind That One Other countries pass through to travel to Bermuda. Each Country is soveriegn and Taking a Prisoner Through the Country "could require extradition.

Bermuda is a British territory, and I believe all of the UK's extradition treaties apply to all of their territories.
If it's a minor crime, you will probably face arrest if you go to Bermuda or the UK in the future (as you attempt to come through customs) but that will be about it.It's also possible you will just be held at customs until you pay your fines and fees, then denied entry and sent home.
If it's a major crime, you will be extradited and shipped to Bermuda to stand trial.When you are a prisoner being extradited or transported, you are normally flown directly to your destination.If you don't fly directly, you never pass through customs and officially 'enter' the countries you are passing through.Most countries also have treaties and policies that allow a prisoner being extradited to pass through without interference.The people transporting you will never stop in one of the few countries that don't allow prisoner transport.
