Canary Islands & Mediterranean – Funchal to Rome

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 13-night sailing from Funchal on March 30, 2027 visits Arrecife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de la Palma, with additional stops along the Canary Islands. The sailing ends in Civitavecchia (Rome). 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. 3 countries (Spain, Morocco and Italy) across the Canary Islands, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC Fantasia. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. 13 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 13-night sailing is a strong place to start.
