Blending subtropical glamour with captivating cosmopolitan scene, featuring the best of Miami and the most exotic Caribbean cities of Colombia.
In the calm of dawn, we call on Santa Marta, rippling with life against the peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains where the air sparkles like diamonds onto the city’s vibrant street life, organic coffee farms, a UNESCO biosphere, and ruins of the Lost City that are older than Peru’s Machu Picchu. Mysticism and realism turn your wanderlust into wandermust in Cartagena de India. Here, the city tells a story that few others can, beginning with Spanish colonisation, repeated attacks by the (original) pirates of the Caribbean, revolution, and the final resting place of world-acclaimed Nobel Peace writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez (considered the best Spanish writer since Cervantes). An overnight aboard EXPLORA I allows time to explore Cartagena’s UNESCO fortified old city, where an exuberance for life overflows in a maze of cobbled streets dripping with bougainvillea and history.
