Canary Islands Escape – Funchal & Las Palmas
About this cruise
Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Funchal on March 16, 2027 visits Arrecife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de la Palma, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Puerto del Rosario. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Black-sand beaches on one island, dense laurel forests on another. The Canaries are surprisingly varied. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura's sun-baked capital of dunes. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Fantasia. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
