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

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 19 nights from Hamburg on January 3, 2027, visiting Funchal, Santa Cruz de la Palma and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with additional stops along the Canary Islands. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The Canary Islands route takes in Portugal, Spain and Morocco, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Mein Schiff Flow launched in 2026, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. While everyone else deals with the January cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 19-night sailing is a strong place to start.
