3.4-course Culinary Experience aboard a catamaran

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 17 reviews · 2h 30m · from $132

Cartagena catamaran night cruise with a four-course dinner and wine, plus panoramic views of the illuminated city.

“EN: The boat trip took place after dark, so we couldn't see the sunset, but we saw the illuminated bay and the hotel scyscrapers around the bay. During the tour, a bottle of wine and 4 dishes were served. The food was good. The ship sailed slowly so we could listen to music, eat in peace and take photos of the illuminated bay. PL: Wycieczka statkiem odbyła się po zmroku, więc nie było widać zachodu słońca ale zobaczyliśmy oświetloną zatokę oraz hotelowe wierzowce wokół zatoki. Podczas wycieczki podano butelkę wina oraz 4 dania. Jedzenie było dobre. Statek płynął powoli, można było posłuchać muzyki, zjeść spokojnie i porobić zdjęcia oświetolnej zatoki.”
