Canary Islands & Madeira – Lisbon to Southampton

About this cruise

A 11-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Lisbon on November 9, 2026 and visits Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Santa Cruz de la Palma, with additional stops along the Canary Islands. You finish in Southampton. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 4 borders through the Canary Islands: Spain, Portugal, France and United Kingdom. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Southampton alone is worth the trip, England's gateway to the world. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Star takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
