Cruises to Harvest Caye, Belize
Harvest Caye is Norwegian Cruise Line's private island in southern Belize, a 75-acre island about a mile and a half south of the Placencia Peninsula, built for an easy day ashore. It is known for its 7-acre white-sand beach, a large pool with a swim-up bar, a saltwater lagoon and the Flighthouse, a 136-foot tower that launches the island's zip lines. The pool alone covers some 15,000 square feet. Beyond its shores lie the Belize Barrier Reef and, on the mainland, the forested foothills of the Maya Mountains.
Do cruise ships dock at Harvest Caye? Yes. Ships use a pier that stretches out from the northern tip of the island, so passengers walk ashore rather than taking a tender. Can you leave the island? Yes, on shore excursions to the reef and the mainland, or by ferry to the beach village of Placencia. Passengers who stay on the island find beachfront cabanas, a shopping village, restaurants and bars spread around the beach and pool, plus a Nature Center with toucans.
Cruises to Harvest Caye are Western Caribbean itineraries, mostly on Norwegian Cruise Line, with some Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises voyages calling as well.
Decide before the cruise whether this is a beach day or an excursion day, since the reef and the Maya site of Nim Li Punit both mean leaving the island. The lagoon's kayaks and paddle boards offer a middle ground that never leaves the island at all.

Things to do in Harvest Caye, Belize
A private-island beach day with real Belize just offshore: here are the best things to do at Harvest Caye, from the pool and zip lines to the barrier reef and a Maya site on the mainland.
♦ The Beach and Pool
The island's 7-acre beach has lounge chairs and rentable beachfront cabanas, while the large pool nearby features cascading waterfalls and a swim-up bar. Restaurants and bars are spread around both, so it is easy to spend the whole day here without leaving the island.
♦ The Flighthouse Zip Lines
The Flighthouse, a 136-foot tower, is the launch point for about 3,000 feet of zip lines that cross the island, with free-fall jumps and an observation deck at the top. Separate zip line runs also pass over the island's lagoon.
♦ Snorkeling the Belize Barrier Reef
Snorkel excursions head out from the island to the Belize Barrier Reef, part of the second largest coral reef system in the world and the biggest draw for visitors to Belize. It is the best way to see the country's underwater side on a single port day.
♦ The Lagoon
The saltwater lagoon is set aside for gentle water sports such as kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and electric float boats. Guided wildlife outings explore the lagoon, where manatees are sometimes seen resting or grazing along the banks.
♦ Nim Li Punit and the Mainland
Excursions also cross to the mainland. Among them are trips to Nim Li Punit, a Classic Period Maya site in the foothills of the Maya Mountains, named for the elaborate headdress carved on one of its stelae, as well as river tubing in the rainforest and a ferry to the beach village of Placencia.
