Cartagena has long been considered one of the loveliest ports of call for Caribbean cruises. It is currently featured on itineraries on Celebrity, Seabourn, Regent, Holland America Line and RCCL. While in port, consider having lunch at the historic Sofitel Santa Clara Hotel. Originally built as a monastery in 1621, it is a reference point in the heart of Cartagena de Indias, where its walls, which acted as a shield in ancient times, combine with colonial balconies and republican structures to evoke the splendor of days gone by in recognition of its great cultural and architectural wealth, the walled city, with its castles and bastions, was declared UNESCO World Heritage Center in 1984. In the late 1990s the building was restored and converted into a hotel. Restaurants and bars provide the perfect setting for relaxing and socializing: El Refectorio, formerly the Classic nuns' dining room, offers contemporary food and El Claustro offers French cuisine with the latest in fusion dishes from around the world.
Its amazing spa and 119 rooms with views of the ocean, the old city, or the beautiful interior courtyards, make it a great choice for couples wanting a romantic getaway.
