Volcanic Heights – Funchal & Gran Canaria
About this cruise
Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Santa Cruz de Tenerife on February 28, 2027 visits Puerto del Rosario, Funchal and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 3 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Black-sand beaches on one island, dense laurel forests on another. The Canaries are surprisingly varied. Don't rush through Puerto del Rosario, which is known as Fuerteventura's sun-baked capital of dunes. Roughly 9 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All told, 3 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
