Canary Island Escape – Las Palmas & Funchal
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Arrecife on December 24, 2026 visits Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de la Palma, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Funchal. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Arrecife, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Sun all year round, volcanic landscapes, and more variety between islands than you'd expect. Funchal stands out. It's An island garden floating in the Atlantic. Roughly 13 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Fantasia has 5 dining spots on board, most of them included. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All in all, it's a solid trip.
