Harvest Caye, Norwegian Cruise Line’s new destination in Southern Belize, has welcomed its first guests.

The resort-style port is under 2km offshore and features Belize’s only cruise ship pier.

The tropical island experience features a white sand beach, a 400 m² pool with swim-up bar and a nature centre. Guests can also enjoy private luxury beach villas; a variety of eco-activities and interactive wildlife programmes and a cross-island zip line.

“Harvest Caye is truly the ultimate Belizean experience and we are delighted to welcome our first guests,” said Frank Del Rio, President and Chief Executive Officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “We have worked closely with the government of Belize to ensure this spectacular destination was authentic for our guests, provided economic opportunities for the local community and preserved and protected Belize’s incredible natural beauty.”
