Volcanic Heights – Gran Canaria & Funchal

About this cruise

By December 13, 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. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. 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. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
