Volcanic Orchards – Funchal, Tenerife & Arrecife

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on November 19, 2026, visiting Funchal, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Puerto del Rosario and Arrecife. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 4 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. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
