Volcanic Archipelago – Funchal, Tenerife & Arrecife

About this cruise

You sail from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on February 5, 2027 and spend 7 nights visiting Arrecife, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Puerto del Rosario and Funchal. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 4 stops with a breather between each one. Black-sand beaches on one island, dense laurel forests on another. The Canaries are surprisingly varied. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Smeralda: 5,224 guests, 20 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
