Canary Islands Escape – Funchal & Arrecife

About this cruise

This one leaves Santa Cruz de Tenerife on December 27, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Funchal, Arrecife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Puerto del Rosario 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 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Fantasia has 5 dining spots on board, most of them included. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
