Southern Caribbean Cruise 7 netter • Cartagena, Colombia • Serenade of the Seas

Nestled in the northern coast of Colombia, Cartagena de Indias boasts colorful architecture, beautiful beaches, and a lively culture as enchanting as the city itself. One of the best things to do in Cartagena is to stroll through the heart of the historical sector and catch scenic views from the Plaza de Bolivar. Or explore the underground passages of Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas. If you’re a beach lover, head to Playa Blanca and enjoy delicious local dishes like fresh fish, coconut rice and arepa de huevo. And remember, a vacation from Cartagena is not complete without dancing to the tropical rhythms of cumbia. Before you cruise, hop on a multicolored chiva (party bus) or mingle with locals at upbeat bars around the city.
