Volcanic Bloom – Madeira, Arrecife & Tenerife
About this cruise
Book 5 days off from March 21, 2028 and this cruise from Funchal will do the rest, taking you to Arrecife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de la Palma and Santa Cruz de Tenerife and back. The sailing ends in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Warm weather in any month, with volcanoes as the backdrop. Not bad. People come back from this cruise talking about Santa Cruz de la Palma: A Canarian gem cradled by volcanoes. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Fantasia has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Funchal itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 4 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
