Question
Is there anyway to travel to Colombia by boat like you do in an airplane? (I mean take a boat stay there for a few days and take a boat back).  My wife is afraid of flying and I am looking for a way to get to Colombia from Florida. any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Answer
Carlos,

There are a few cruise ships that call the port of Cartagena, in the caribbean coast of Colombia. One of the companies that you can contact is Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. If there`s not a direct route from Miami, maybe you can sail to some island in the caribbean and then transfer to the cruise ship that does come to Cartagena.

From there you can travel by land to your final destination in Colombia.

I hope that this helps !

First of all: I do NOT answer questions about Passports, Legal issues, Government procedures nor person searches. I know very little about these topics. Please don't insist ! I'm a middle-age Colombian with a thirst for travel. I've managed to travel through good portions of this complex but fascinating country and could provide advice on destinations, special care, hazards, prices and highlights. I've also traveled throughout a part of Central and South America, Australia, Asia, Europe and North America, so I think I could provide some balanced advice, avoiding nationalistic hype but also pointing out some particular, unique charms of this unusual land.
