Central and Southern Itineraries:

Join us in discovering the incredible atoll’s of the Turneffe Islands, Glovers Reef and Lighthouse Reef. Located on the Caribbean coast of Central America, Belize is rich in history and unspoiled natural attractions ranging from its rainforests to beautiful coral reefs. Traveling to Belize City is quite accessible by commercial flights offered by Continental, American and Taca Airlines. If your schedule allows, we recommend that you plan to spend a day or two before or after your cruise to explore this ecotourism-minded country. You can easily arrange tours of ancient Mayan ruins, the Belize Zoo or Belize City and the surrounding areas through our reservations department.

Citizens of other countries are REQUIRED to have valid visas and passports. Please check with your local issuing agency.
