Volcanic Archipelagos – Lanzarote, Fuerteventura & Madeira

About this cruise

You board in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on November 29, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Puerto del Rosario, Arrecife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Funchal, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Black-sand beaches on one island, dense laurel forests on another. The Canaries are surprisingly varied. Keep an eye out for Puerto del Rosario: Fuerteventura's sun-baked capital of dunes. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 185,010 gross tons, Costa Smeralda is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 7 nights well spent.
