Cruise overview

Sixteen days, three remarkable cities and one of the world’s most extraordinary rivers. Begin in Bogotá with its world-class museums and emerald workshops, then head to the Caribbean coast for encounters with indigenous communities and lush biological reserves around Santa Marta. Board the purpose-built AmaMelodia in Barranquilla for seven nights sailing deep into Colombia’s heartland, calling at colonial Mompox, wildlife-rich Magangue and the timeless river towns few travellers ever reach. Finish in Cartagena, where fortress walls, mangrove waterways and the warm rhythms of the Caribbean bring this quite exceptional journey to a close.
