Considering cruises to Colombia? Ensure Cartagena is at the top of your vacation list. If you mention visiting Cartagena, clarify which one — Colombia’s fifth-largest city shares its name with a town in Spain that is over 2,000 years old. Let cruises to Colombia take you to Cartagena, Jr. — only about 500 years young — where you’ll find a vibrant Colombian city with neighborhoods like the bustling Downtown, the traditional Getsemaní, and the waterfront Bocagrande… a cultural center on a walkable peninsula featuring beaches, shopping, and nightlife galore. Immerse yourself in all this action with a cruise to Cartagena..
- Like many old towns, Cartagena has an “Old Town” section — a walled historic neighborhood you shouldn’t miss.
- Built by the Spanish for protection from pirates, Castillo de San Felipe today opens its doors warmly to visitors from all over.
- To go upscale, head downsouth. Bocagrande is home to shops, restaurants, shops and art galleries.
