Canary Island Escape – Funchal & Las Palmas

About this cruise

This one leaves Funchal on December 22, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Arrecife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de la Palma and Santa Cruz de Tenerife at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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. Sun all year round, volcanic landscapes, and more variety between islands than you'd expect. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC Fantasia. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
