Welcome to the magic of skip-generation travel—a growing trend where grandparents and grandchildren explore the world together, creating unforgettable memories while parents stay home to recharge. And there’s no better place to embrace this intimate style of travel than on an AmaWaterways luxury river cruise.
🚢 Why the Magdalena River?Colombia is a country rich with rhythm, nature, and soul. On the Magdalena, you’ll uncover the essence of South America:

• Marvel at the colonial architecture of Cartagena and Santa Marta.
  
• Dance to the beat of cumbia and vallenato during immersive cultural experiences.
  
• Sail through lush tropical landscapes and serene wildlife havens.
  
• Enjoy exclusive shore excursions tailored to both the curious and the adventurous.
  

With only 52 staterooms aboard the beautiful AmaMagdalena, this is a truly boutique journey—with all the warmth of a small group and the luxury touches AmaWaterways is known for.

💛 Memories That Span GenerationsWhat sets skip-generation travel apart is the deep, uninterrupted time it offers to bond—whether you're painting alongside local artists in Mompox or sharing stories over gourmet meals onboard. There’s no rush, no distraction—just the joy of discovery, together.
This kind of journey can be transformative for grandchildren and deeply rewarding for grandparents.
“I didn’t just take them on a trip,” one guest shared. “I gave them something to remember me by for the rest of their lives.”
