Cruise overview

Fourteen days of sun-drenched Caribbean charm, vibrant culture, and the timeless rhythms of Colombia’s riverways. Begin in Cartagena, where colonial streets, mangroves, and local flavours set the stage for immersive experiences from cooking classes to rum tastings. Board the AmaMagdalena for a seven-night cruise along the Magdalena River, exploring Mompox’s colonial heritage, the wildlife-rich wetlands of Magangue, and the serene river towns rarely reached by travellers. End in Barranquilla, with its vibrant port city energy and a seamless transfer home. A journey where history, nature, and culture unfold at every turn.
