Belize City, Belize Cruises

Belize City, Belize Cruise Port

Once the capital of British Honduras, Belize has been relatively quiet compared to her neighbors Mexico and Guatemala. However, lately Belize has been attracting a lot of attention as people are flocking to this spot which has amazing diving regions because it’s located along the Belize Barrier Reef. This reef is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, which is second only in size to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Belize also has the most Mayan ruins of all Central American countries, so it’s a great spot to really get a look at the beauty of Central America and the history of its empires. Featured below are a few ideas for how to make the most of your cruise to Belize City, Belize:
 

• Snorkel with sharks at Shark Ray Alley, a spot off Belize’s coast where you’ll find nurse sharks and stingrays. You’ll even be able to swim alongside them and pet these sea creatures.
   
• Take a day trip to Xunantunich, a large expanse of Mayan ruins. Here you’ll see temples, palaces and six plazas.
