Volcanic Bloom – 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 December 27, 2026 visits Arrecife, Puerto del Rosario, 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. Funchal alone is worth the trip, An island garden floating in the Atlantic. 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. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. Worth booking. That's the short version.
