he big trend over the the last decade for the cruise line has been to develop private islands and ports for there ships and passengers to enjoy. After several length delays, Norwegian Cruise Line has revealed the details of its newest private port, Harvest Caye, which is scheduled to open in Belize this November.
The port will have a pier where Norwegian ships can tie up, a seven-acre sand beach, a marina that will serve as a departure point for excursions, and a 130-foot-tall lighthouse structure that will anchor a pair of ziplines, a freefall jump attraction and several observation platforms. In addition to the beach, there will be a 15,000-square-foot pool with swim up bar, cascading waterfall and canopy style cabanas available to rent. In addition, 11 deluxe air-conditioned beachfront cabanas that will have hammocks, private bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers and other premium features.
A ropes course, popular on the latest Norwegian ships, will be built on a platform in a lagoon. There will also be a two-story Landshark Bar and Grill as part of Norwegian's partnership with Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville.
There will be water sports equipment rentals but no water scooters, in keeping with efforts to polish the port's ecological credentials. An aviary will feature six pairs of toucans, the Belize national bird. There also will be a butterfly garden and boa constrictor viewing and education center.
$400 million devoted to the Norwegian Edge initiative.
