- The Ultimate Caribbean Sea to Magdalena River Journey
The Ultimate Caribbean Sea to Magdalena River Journey, 20 November 2027
From Caribbean Sea to Colombian river
Embrace the Caribbean aboard Crystal Symphony, before the Magdalena's slower, storied currents carry you deep into Colombia aboard AmaMagdalena.
22 nights
Crystal Symphony
20 Nov '27Cruise overview
From the coral reefs of Cozumel to a slow river winding through Colombia’s wetlands, this 22-night journey covers ground that few itineraries dare to connect. Crystal Symphony carries you south through the Caribbean, calling at ports where Mayan ruins push through jungle, reef systems rival anything in the world, and the Panama Canal’s sheer engineering still stops people mid-sentence. Then Cartagena arrives, all walled streets and flower-draped balconies, and the pace shifts entirely. What follows is unlike any ocean crossing. AmaMagdalena draws you deep into Colombia’s Magdalena River, past the free town of Palenque, through the still waterways of La Mojana, and into Mompox, a colonial town that feels beautifully removed from the modern world. This is a journey that earns its ending, travelling from open sea to quiet river, from Mexico’s coastline to the heart of South America.
Itinerary
Miami, USA
Your private transfer from Miami International Airport meets you on arrival and delivers you directly to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to settle in, freshen up, and begin adjusting to the local rhythm. Miami rewards early explorers, so even a gentle evening stroll along the waterfront makes for a welcome introduction to this vibrant city. Stay overnight at InterContinental Miami (or similar).
