Belize Cruise Ports
Since 1991 when the first cruise ship dropped anchor in Belize’s waters, the industry has proven to be immensely beneficial to the country’s tourism. Though cruise passengers might not have as much time to witness the gems that are embedded within the small country, every experience is as fulfilling as can be. From caving and tubing to climbing Maya sites, cruise-based tours have visitors coming back for more again and again.
Cruise in Belize
- Fort Street Tourism Village Cruise Port
Belize’s original cruise port is a tender port– approximately 15 minutes ship to shore. Looking rather like an open air mini-mall, the village has several courtyards, snack bars, and local stores with excellent duty-free shopping. Several restaurants offer authentic Caribbean and international cuisine, and there is often live local entertainment.
- Harvest Caye Cruise Port
This newly opened docking port in southern Stann Creek District currently caters only for Norwegian Cruise Line passengers. Passengers can take a tender for one of the many mainland excursions or enjoy the island, which features a large pool, beach, zip-lining, water sports, an enclosed nature area with birds and butterflies, bars and a variety of eateries .
Cruise Statistics
Disembarkation rates are 80 percent for passengers and 15 percent for crew members.
The tour purchasing rate for disembarked passengers is 60 percent, which compares favorably with the Caribbean average of 35 percent.

There are plenty of reasons why a cruise to Belize should top your travel bucket list. A tropical paradise that promises adventure, both onshore and off? You better Belize it! Crystalline rivers flow through impressive lowland jungles, home to wildlife of various stripes. (And various spots.) Silky-sand beaches, waving palms and colorful coral gardens are just part of Belize’s natural wonders. And they’re all yours to explore when you take a cruise to Belize, where surprises await around every corner, including underwater. Whether mountain biking through a lush rainforest or snorkeling with the marine life, you’ll experience things you can only imagine… that is, if you haven’t tried a Belize vacation yet.
- The Cayo District is where you’ll find an impressive system of underground rivers and caves.
- Go exploring, old-school-style, with local ancient ruins Cahal Pech, Altun Ha, or Xuananunich.

Cruise port schedule, live map, terminals, news.
Region Bahamas - Caribbean - Bermuda
Local Time 2024-03-20 00:19
Half Moon Caye is a Caribbean island part of Belize's Lighthouse Reef Atoll, located approx 80 km/50 mi east of Belize City (the country's largest by population). The island's namesake is The Bahamian private island Half Moon Cay , Half Moon Cay is owned by the world's largest cruise shipping company ( Carnival Corporation ) via its subsidiary Holland America Line .
As a cruise destination, Half Moon Caye is visited by smaller-sized, expedition-type ships of luxury sea travel brands like Lindblad Expeditions , Hurtigruten Expeditions , Ponant .
Half Moon Caye Wall is popular as a recreational scuba diving/snorkeling destination in Belize, together with the Great Blue Hole. Half Moon Caye is just ~13 km/8 mi to the south of the Great Blue Hole, and both are visited via boat tours leaving from Belize City and Placencia (travel time ~1 hour). Great Blue Hole is a giant circular sinkhole with diameter 318 m/1043 ft and depth 124 m/407 ft. The Belize Great Blue Hole is approx 75 km/45 mi to the east of Belize City and near the Lighthouse Reef Atoll's center.
In 1981, Half Moon Caye became the country's first nature reserve as well as Central America's first protected marine area in Central America. In the early 20th century (1924) the island was designated as a bird reserve/wildlife refuge to protect a large seabird colony of the endangered red-footed boobies (Sula sula).
The Half Moon Caye Natural Monument is part of the Belize Barrier Reef Heritage Site (1996-established by UNESCO). The island has a total area of approx 0,17 km2/0,07 mi2, length 0,8 km/0,5 mi, and width 0,2 km/0,12 mi.
The island's scenery is marked by a coastal forest (primarily of the shrubby siricote tree/Cordia sebestena) providing habitat for the Western Caribbean's only viable breeding colony of red-footed boobies. The seabird colony itself supports the forest by providing the guano fertilizer, with a high content of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium.
Half Moon Caye is also a habitat for the Belize leaf-toed gecko (aka atoll gecko) and Allison's anole lizard.
Each year between May and November, Half Moon Caye's southeastern part serves as a nesting ground for the endangered sea turtles loggerhead, hawksbill, and green turtles.
