About Colombia
Colombia is a country of staggering natural beauty, deep colonial history, and warm, layered culture. For the milestone traveler, the Magdalena River offers a rare, unhurried waterway through the nation’s historic heart—from the walled Caribbean city of Cartagena to the timeless streets of Mompox. Boutique river cruising here is still intimate and un-crowded, making it an ideal choice for travelers who want authentic encounters without feeling herded.
Typical routes
- Magdalena River Classic — Cartagena to Barranquilla via Calamar and Mompox.
- Caribbean Coast & Sierra Nevada extensions — Santa Marta, Tayrona, and Rosario Islands offered as pre/post or combined coastal packages.
Ports overview
River cruises on the Magdalena are intimate and slow. Ships sail from the Caribbean coast into the river’s delta, calling at working river towns and colonial gems. The focus is history, wildlife, and daily life along Colombia’s main waterway.
Cruise season
December through March (dry season); October–November and April are shoulder. River levels and rain can alter navigation, so expect flexibility.
