Canary Islands Escape – Funchal & Tenerife

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Arrecife on March 11, 2027 visits Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de la Palma, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Puerto del Rosario and Funchal. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Sun all year round, volcanic landscapes, and more variety between islands than you'd expect. Funchal stands out. It's An island garden floating in the Atlantic. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Fantasia takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
