Volcanic Slopes – Funchal & Arrecife

About this cruise

By January 25, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, visiting Arrecife, Funchal and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 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 11 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Santa Cruz de Tenerife has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. While everyone else deals with the January cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
