12 nights - Pearls of the Atlantic - from Hamburg/to Santa Cruz

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 12 nights from Hamburg on November 1, 2026, visiting Southampton, A Coruña and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Canary Islands. The sailing ends in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 3 countries (United Kingdom, Spain and Portugal) across the Canary Islands, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Mein Schiff Relax joined the TUI Cruises's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. 12 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 12-night sailing is a strong place to start.
