Nautica Visits Cartagena Today: Shore Excursions and Activity near the Port

Cartagena welcomed Nautica, operated by Oceania Cruises, today for a new port call that brought activity to the cruise terminal, waterfront and historic city centre.

During the call, passengers explored the destination through several shore excursions booked with the cruise line and coordinated locally with the participation of The Best Day Tours.

Shore Excursions during Today’s Call

Today’s experiences included a panoramic tourist train tour, offering passengers a comfortable introduction to Cartagena.

Other guests joined an excursion focused on the equestrian traditions and flavours of the Region of Murcia, including a visit to a Spanish horse stud farm. Another group explored the historic centre through a local tapas tour.

A private electric bike tour also departed from the port area. This active experience combines Cartagena’s old town, waterfront and other places of interest.

Travellers preparing for a future visit can find more information about the Cartagena Tourist Train, the Cartagena Electric Bike Tour and the Cartagena Tapas Tour.

Onshore Services for Passengers without an Excursion

In addition to the activities booked in advance through the cruise line, The Best Day Tours prepared onshore services for passengers who disembarked without an organised excursion.

The kiosk next to the port served as an information, meeting and assistance point for visitors deciding what to do after arriving in Cartagena.

Tourist trains were also available close to the port, offering panoramic city tours to passengers looking for an activity after disembarking.

These services give visitors greater flexibility. However, passengers should preferably book their main shore excursions through the cruise line, as these activities are coordinated with the ship’s schedule.

A Cruise Port Connected to the City

Nautica’s visit once again highlighted one of Cartagena’s main advantages as a cruise destination: the short distance between the terminal, historic centre and principal visitor services.

During their time ashore, passengers were able to discover Cartagena’s heritage, gastronomy and urban scenery through a varied selection of experiences.

Travellers arriving on future cruise calls can explore the activities available in Cartagena or ask about available services at the The Best Day Tours kiosk after disembarking.
