Canary Island Explorer – Funchal & Las Palmas
About this cruise
7 nights, 5 ports, all from Santa Cruz de Tenerife on December 20, 2026. The route visits Puerto del Rosario, Funchal, Arrecife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de la Palma and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Black-sand beaches on one island, dense laurel forests on another. The Canaries are surprisingly varied. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Fantasia takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Santa Cruz de Tenerife has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. While everyone else deals with the December cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
