As you cruise through the Caribbean, you’ll have time to relax on the sun deck, enjoy the sea breeze, and take in panoramic views of the coastline and islands. A light breakfast is served onboard during the navigation, allowing you to start your day in a relaxed and enjoyable way.

Upon arrival in the Rosario Islands, the captain and host will guide you through the best spots depending on sea conditions and your preferences. You may stop to swim in crystal-clear waters, snorkel over coral reefs, relax on natural beaches, or enjoy floating in calm bays.

Around midday, you can choose to visit an island beach club or restaurant for lunch (not included unless selected in advance), or enjoy any food you bring onboard. The crew will assist with arrangements and recommendations.

During the afternoon, you will have more time to explore, swim, or relax on board before beginning the return journey back to Cartagena. On the ride back, guests can unwind, enjoy music, and take final photos of the Caribbean sunset atmosphere.
