Belize Cruises

This environment is pristine and cherished. In fact, the government of Belize has instituted restrictions on cruise tourism in order to protect this beloved and fragile environment.

The Belize Barrier Reef, for example, is part of the larger complex of reefs collectively known as the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (MBRS). The reef system supports more than 500 species of fish, as well as endangered species, such as loggerhead sea turtles. The reef is also home to one of the largest populations of manatees on earth. Lucky travelers might also catch a glimpse of the largest fish on earth, the whale shark, which congregates in the northern reaches of the MBRS.

A few steps beyond the sandy coastline, a deep green jungle stretches inland, home to many species of wild animals, including the elusive and deadly jaguar, the largest and most powerful cat to roam anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. The 430-mile coastline of northern Honduras offers Caribbean delights that rival those of its near neighbor, Belize (which used to be called British Honduras, by the way).
