Canary Island Explorer – Funchal & Las Palmas

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Santa Cruz de Tenerife on March 8, 2026 visits Arrecife, Puerto del Rosario, Santa Cruz de la Palma, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Funchal and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Warm weather in any month, with volcanoes as the backdrop. Not bad. People come back from this cruise talking about Funchal: An island garden floating in the Atlantic. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Musica. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 5 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
