Volcanic Archipelagos – Lanzarote, Fuerteventura & Madeira
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Santa Cruz de Tenerife on November 29, 2026 visits Puerto del Rosario, Arrecife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Funchal. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Sun all year round, volcanic landscapes, and more variety between islands than you'd expect. Puerto del Rosario stands out. It's Fuerteventura's sun-baked capital of dunes. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Smeralda carries up to 5,224 guests over 20 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. Santa Cruz de Tenerife itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.
