Canary Islands Escape – Funchal & Tenerife

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 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on December 25, 2026 visits Santa Cruz de la Palma, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Funchal and Arrecife. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 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. Santa Cruz de Tenerife stands out. It's Where Teide watches over the harbour. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All in all, it's a solid trip.
