Cruise travelers in Colombia 2010-2021, by port
In 2021, the number of cruise passengers arriving in Colombia was lowest recorded since 2010, reaching only a little over nine thousand. In the previous year, this figure had dropped by more than 60 percent due to the travel industry's crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The port of Cartagena, the country's most important hub for this type of tourism, lost more than 300 thousand cruise passengers between 2019 and 2021.
