Magellan's voyage was different from that of Columbus primarily because:

Magellan sailed south down the coast of South America.

While Columbus sailed west across the Atlantic to reach the Caribbean, Magellan's expedition aimed to find a western route to the Spice Islands by navigating around South America, ultimately being the first to circumnavigate the globe.
