AmaWaterways Reveals Details of Colombia's Magdalena River Cruises
byDori Saltzman/When AmaWaterways finally launches its much-anticipated Magdalena River cruises in Colombia next year in late March it will do so with two 60-guest river ships and two one-week itineraries.
Amawaterways的联合创始人兼总裁Rudi Schreiner说:“马格达莱纳确实是哥伦比亚的核心。”在旅行顾问的网络研讨会上,他,联合创始人兼执行副总裁克里斯汀·卡斯特(Kristin Karst)透露了马格达莱纳河(Magdalena River)发行的细节。
他说,他们选择了马格达莱纳(Magdalena),因为这是拉丁美洲的少数河流之一,它提供了文化世界遗产以及美丽的风景和野生动植物的混合体。
The two itineraries, which differ only by one port of call, travel between Cartagena and Barranquilla (or the reverse).
Wonders of Colombia
根据Schreiner和Karst的说法,客人可以期望河流巡航经验与湄公河和Zambezi Rivers上的线路相似,旅游经理与客人一起乘船船。
The eight-night/seven-day Wonders of Colombia starts in Cartagena and ends in Barranquilla, making seven stops along the way and spending one night in the town of Mompox, which both Schreiner and Karst agreed is a top highlight of the sailing.
Tours and special events are included in all ports of call, with some having more than one option depending on how active cruisers want to be. For instance, on day four (a full day in Mompox) guests can choose a hike around Cienaga de Pijiño or opt for a historic walking tour or even a tuk tuk-style tour.
There will also be plenty of special events including a musical performance in Palenque, an onshore dinner with Cumbia (a traditional Colombian dance) performance in El Banco and Carnaval celebrations in Barranquilla.
The opposite itinerary, Magic of Colombia, travels from Barranquilla to Cartagena and features almost all of the same experiences, with only minor differences.
Pre-, Post-Cruise Options
Two pre-cruise tours and one-post cruise tour will be available (depending on which itinerary guests choose).
对于从卡塔赫纳(Cartagena)出发的巡洋舰来说,两晚的卡塔赫纳(Cartagena)巡回演出将包括四次旅行和博物馆访问。从Barranquilla出发的巡洋舰可以选择三晚的麦德林巡回演出,其中包括两天的巡回演出。
仅对于从卡塔赫纳(Cartagena)出发的巡洋舰来说,还可以提供较长的灌溉前旅行,结合了卡塔赫纳(Cartagena)和麦德林(Medellin)。
Cruisers on either itinerary can add on a three-night post-cruise tour in Panama City, which includes flights to Panama, an Old Town walking tour, a Panama Canal experience and a visit to the Chagres National Park.
AmaMagdalena, AmaMelodia
While the 60-guest AmaMagdalena and AmaMelodia, both currently under construction in Colombia, are being designed specifically for the Magdalena River (the ships are wider than the European ships, for instance), they will feel familiar to cruisers who have been on AmaWaterways in Europe.
每艘船都是三甲板,所有的小屋都提供了线路的签名双阳台概念 - 法国阳台和一个真正的阳台。
Five room categories include the 516-square-foot Grand Suite, 306-square-foot Luxury Suite and three categories of 237-square-foot rooms.
车载亮点将包括一家主要餐厅,主休息室,小型游泳池,健身房和头发/美甲沙龙。
Magdalena River行程的预订现已开放,价格为每人3,599美元。需求预计将非常高,集体空间已经填补。
