Ocean Discovery – Funchal, St Cruz De La Palma & Tenerife

About this cruise

14 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on February 17, 2028 and the route takes you through Funchal, Santa Cruz de la Palma, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Puerto del Rosario, Mindelo and Praia at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. The Azores, Madeira & Cape Verde route takes in Portugal, Spain and Cape Verde, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Santa Cruz de la Palma stands out. It's A Canarian gem cradled by volcanoes. Around 13 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Mein Schiff 7 launched in 2024, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. 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. If you can, add a night in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria before boarding. It's a good city to wander. A February sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All in all, it's a solid trip.
