We Had VERY Different Opinions on This Virgin Voyages Excursion…

Creator's Key Takeaways
We paid £85 each, around $115 for this 3-hour tour.
Honestly, it was beautiful, calm, peaceful, and filled with the sound of bird song echoing through the trees.
We think the slight premium is worth paying for.
For us personally, that reassurance of knowing the ship won't leave without you if there's traffic or delays. We'd pay for that peace of mind every time.

Virgin Voyages Cartagena Excursion vlog time! Join us as we continue our cruise adventure onboard Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady, as we arrive in to Cartagena, Colombia and head out on one of the ship’s Shore Things excursions — the Mangrove Eco Canoe Adventure & Old City Sights tour. In this travel vlog, we explore Cartagena’s colourful old city, travel through the Colombian mangroves by traditional canoe in La Boquilla, spot local wildlife, and explore Port Oasis Ecopark, Cartagena’s unique cruise port wildlife sanctuary. But… we didn’t exactly have the same opinion on this excursion 👀 Was this Virgin Voyages excursion actually worth the money? And would we recommend booking it through the cruise line? Back onboard Brilliant Lady, the fun continues with dinner at Pink Agave, the Electric party, and a trip to The Manor to see Oscar the Charmer’s late-night show. As always, we’ll take you along for the full experience — the good, the surprising, and the slightly chaotic — as we continue our Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady cruise series. 🚢 Ship: Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady📍 Port: Cartagena, Colombia🛶 Excursion: Mangrove Eco Canoe Adventure & Old City Sights #VirginVoyages #BrilliantLady #Cartagena #CruiseVlog #CruiseExcursion ▶️ New to this series?
