Volcanic Heights – Funchal, Lanzarote & Las Palmas

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Santa Cruz de Tenerife on January 24, 2027 visits Arrecife, Funchal and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and doesn't try to cram in too much. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. Warm weather in any month, with volcanoes as the backdrop. Not bad. Of the stops, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria tends to be the one people talk about: Year-round sunshine on a volcanic island. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 185,010 gross tons, Costa Smeralda is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. Santa Cruz de Tenerife itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. A January sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
