Volcanic Heights – Funchal, Arrecife & Las Palmas
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 6 nights from Santa Cruz de Tenerife on March 28, 2027, visiting Arrecife, Funchal and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 3 stops with a breather between each one. Warm weather in any month, with volcanoes as the backdrop. Not bad. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Smeralda: 5,224 guests, 20 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Santa Cruz de Tenerife has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 6 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
