Volcanic Slopes – Funchal & Gran Canaria

About this cruise

This one leaves Santa Cruz de Tenerife on March 1, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Puerto del Rosario, Funchal and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Sun all year round, volcanic landscapes, and more variety between islands than you'd expect. Most ports give you about 9 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. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
