Volcanic Bloom – Funchal, Tenerife & Lanzarote
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 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on December 17, 2026 visits Funchal, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Arrecife and Puerto del Rosario. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. Sun all year round, volcanic landscapes, and more variety between islands than you'd expect. Keep an eye out for Arrecife: Lanzarote's lunar landscapes meet the Atlantic. Roughly 11 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. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. That's 7 nights well spent.
