Volcanic Slopes – Funchal, Lanzarote & Fuerteventura
About this cruise
This one leaves Santa Cruz de Tenerife on November 22, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Puerto del Rosario, Arrecife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Funchal 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 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. You start in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and come back with stories from Spain and Portugal.
