One Day, Many Wonders: Uncovering Cartagena, Colombia
A Caribbean Morning: Arrival at the Cartagena Port
As the first rays of the sun strike the surface of the Caribbean Sea, your ship typically docks at the bustling Cartagena port around 7:00 AM. As you disembark, the tropical ambiance and the colorful charm of the port greet you. With an array of amenities, including duty-free shops, eateries, and information centers, the port ensures a comfortable start to your day.
Stepping Back in Time: The Old City of Cartagena
Once you leave the port, the historic center of Cartagena beckons you. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Old City, encased within imposing stone walls, is a maze of cobblestone streets, colorful colonial buildings, and plazas bustling with energy. Don't miss the San Felipe Castle, an impressive fortress, and the Palace of Inquisition with its darkly intriguing history.
Swaying Palms and Turquoise Waters: Cartagena's Beaches
Cartagena's coastline is adorned with beautiful beaches, offering a perfect escape for sun and sea lovers. Start with Bocagrande, the Miami of Cartagena, where the city meets the sea. For a more tranquil experience, catch a boat to the Rosario Islands, a coral archipelago with white sand beaches and clear waters ideal for snorkeling.

As your day draws to a close, spend some time exploring local markets for unique souvenirs. Pick up beautifully crafted emerald jewelry or a traditional Vueltiao hat. As you return to your ship under the Cartagena sunset, your heart will be filled with vibrant memories of a day spent in one of the Caribbean's most beautiful destinations.
