Finding a Belize Snorkeling Cruise

Snorkeling is among our most-requested activities when helping travelers select an itinerary (see our snorkeling tips). All of our Belize small ship cruises offer guided snorkeling with gear included, so your decision to choose the best Belize snorkeling cruise often comes down to the vessel, guides and places visited. Our offerings include traveling with National Geographic guides who are experts in underwater photography and ships that have added technology like hydrophones and cameras for more in-depth underwater exploration. Considerations also include whether you want a more custom route with just your small group, or the fun of being among a small group of fellow active travelers.

Kayaking, Fishing, Relaxing…

Belize small ship cruises offer a plethora of experiences in addition to snorkeling. Active travelers will love regular opportunities to kayak, paddleboard, swim, hike and engage in a stretch class. Some small ship cruises in Belize offer biking or added-cost diving. And anglers can enjoy fishing on a customized Belize Catamaran Charter where your personal chef will gladly prepare the day’s catch.

Those who want to simply relax on a white-sand beach or get a massage will enjoy any of our Belize small ship cruises, including charter cruises customized for spa days. History buffs will love Belize cruise excursions to Guatemala’s Tikal and Yaxha to see ancient Mayan ruins. Whether you’re seeking a Belize snorkeling cruise or to focus on the region’s history, let us be your guide to the best ships and cabins for your needs.

Cruise to Belize and Costa Rica

Our Belize small ship cruises and our small ship cruises in Costa Rica are both popular for their jungle, reef and wildlife, leading to the question “How do I cruise to Belize and Costa Rica?” Our experts have experience cruising in both regions and can help you design your custom trip to dovetail a cruise to Belize with one of our Costa Rica vacations. Many of our Costa Rica cruises even offer ways to experience the Panama Canal for the ultimate adventure from your cruise to Belize on the Caribbean to your Costa Rica adventure on the Pacific.
