Canary Island Explorer – Funchal & Las Palmas

About this cruise

You sail from Santa Cruz de Tenerife on February 28, 2027 and spend 7 nights visiting Puerto del Rosario, Funchal, Arrecife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de la Palma. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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. Black-sand beaches on one island, dense laurel forests on another. The Canaries are surprisingly varied. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Fantasia keeps you well fed. 5 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
