One port that continues to stand out is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruise-lines\/norwegian-cruise-line\/harvest-caye\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Norwegian Cruise Line, Harvest Caye<\/a><\/strong>, in southern Belize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located around five miles off the coast of Placencia, Harvest Caye covers <strong>75 acres<\/strong> and offers a resort style experience combined with access to the Belizean mainland. Since welcoming its first cruise ship in <strong>November 2016<\/strong>, the island has become a popular stop on Western Caribbean itineraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike many private cruise destinations, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruise-lines\/norwegian-cruise-line\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Norwegian Cruise Line<\/a><\/strong> developed Harvest Caye in partnership with the Belizean government. As a result, the destination supports local tourism while preserving the natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Harvest Caye?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Harvest Caye is a private destination owned and operated by <strong>Norwegian Cruise Line<\/strong>. It serves as a dedicated port of call for NCL ships sailing the Western Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The island features a marina, beaches, a large pool area, dining venues, shops, and access to mainland excursions. While it offers a resort atmosphere, it also allows guests to explore Belize beyond the island itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" width=\"1280\" controls poster=\"https:\/\/blog.paramountcruises.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Harvest-Caye-1.png\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paramountcruises.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Harvest-Caye.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top Things to Do on Harvest Caye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Harvest Caye offers a wide range of activities, which makes it suitable for both adventurous travellers and those seeking relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relax by the Main Pool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the centre of the island sits a <strong>15,000 square foot swimming pool<\/strong>. The pool includes a swim up bar, making it a popular spot throughout the day. Guests can also rent poolside cabanas for extra comfort and shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Snorkel the Belize Barrier Reef<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Belize is home to the <strong>second largest barrier reef in the world<\/strong>. From Harvest Caye, guests can join snorkelling excursions to explore coral reefs and marine life in clear Caribbean waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience The Flighthouse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For thrill seekers, Harvest Caye features <strong>The Flighthouse<\/strong>, an adventure venue that includes a zipline, suspension bridges, and observation areas. Even guests who prefer not to take part can enjoy panoramic views of the island and mainland from the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore the Saltwater Lagoon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The island\u2019s saltwater lagoon provides calm conditions for kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, and electric boat rides. This area suits guests who want gentle water activities rather than open sea excursions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit the Nature Centre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Harvest Caye also focuses on wildlife and conservation. At the on site Nature Centre, guests can see native birds such as toucans and learn about local ecosystems. Boat tours through nearby mangroves are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" data-id=\"9991\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"Harvest Caye Belize NCL - front gate\" class=\"wp-image-9991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1-750x425.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1-1140x646.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" data-id=\"9992\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"Harvest Caye Belize NCL - kayak excursion\" class=\"wp-image-9992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-750x425.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-1140x646.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" data-id=\"9993\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"Harvest Caye Belize NCL - Ship View\" class=\"wp-image-9993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3-750x425.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3-1140x646.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Food and Drink Included on Harvest Caye?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Food and drink on Harvest Caye are <strong>not included<\/strong> in your cruise fare or Norwegian Cruise Line beverage packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The island operates like a traditional port.

This allows guests to book excursions that go beyond the island itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular mainland experiences include visits to <strong>Mayan archaeological sites<\/strong>, rainforest river tubing, and parasailing along the coast. As a result, Harvest Caye offers more variety than many private cruise destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planning Your Visit to Harvest Caye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Ships Visit Harvest Caye?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A wide range of Norwegian Cruise Line ships call at Harvest Caye, including Norwegian Aqua, Breakaway, Escape, Getaway, and Viva.
