Cartagena Cruise Excursions

In port for a day? Cartagena is one of the best stops on the Caribbean route. We build shore days that fit your ship's window and get you back with room to spare.

Cruise ships dock in Cartagena at the port in Manga, a short ride from the walled city. Most calls give you somewhere between five and nine hours ashore, which is enough for the old city, or a mud volcano, or a beach, but not all three.

That is where a local agency helps. Send us your ship's arrival and departure times and we will tell you honestly what fits and what does not, then arrange it. We would rather you enjoy one thing properly than rush three and miss the gangway.

Frequently asked

Where do cruise ships dock in Cartagena?

At the port in the Manga district, a short drive from the walled city and Bocagrande.

What can I do with a short time in port?

The chiva city tour covers the walled city, San Felipe Castle, and the seafront in an afternoon. The Totumo mud volcano is a longer day. Send your times and we will advise.

Will I get back to the ship on time?

We plan shore days around your ship's departure window with margin built in. Send your exact times when you book so we can confirm what is realistic.

Can you pick us up at the port?

Tell us your ship and times on WhatsApp and we will confirm the meeting arrangements for your day.
