Santa Marta

Port Santa Marta in Colombia offers a cruise-guest experience that stands apart through its unbeatable proximity to one of South America's most dramatic natural playgrounds. The signature experiences revolve around Tayrona National Park's pristine beaches and jungle backdrop, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta's cloud-forests, and accessible day trips to Ciudad Perdida. Guests can choose sunrise or sunset excursions along the Rodadero coast, snorkeling in clear Caribbean coves, or a culturally rich walk through Santa Marta's Historic Center and the nearby fishing villages of Taganga and Minca coffee estates.

Fleet features at Port Santa Marta include a modern, passenger-friendly terminal with efficient embarkation and disembarkation, ample berthing for various vessel sizes, and sustainable operations that minimize turnaround times and environmental impact.
