Volcanic Heights – Funchal & Gran Canaria

About this cruise

By December 14, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, visiting Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Funchal, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. Sun all year round, volcanic landscapes, and more variety between islands than you'd expect. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Smeralda holds 5,224 guests across 20 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. While everyone else deals with the December cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. You start in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and come back with stories from Spain and Portugal.
