Palm-Fringed Paradise – Funchal & Tenerife

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on March 12, 2027 visits Santa Cruz de la Palma, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Puerto del Rosario, Funchal and Arrecife. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Black-sand beaches on one island, dense laurel forests on another. The Canaries are surprisingly varied. Of the stops, Santa Cruz de la Palma tends to be the one people talk about: A Canarian gem cradled by volcanoes. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Fantasia keeps you well fed. 5 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
