Volcanic Slopes – Funchal, Lanzarote & Tenerife

About this cruise

You board in Santa Cruz de Tenerife on February 8, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Puerto del Rosario, Funchal, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Arrecife, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Black-sand beaches on one island, dense laurel forests on another. The Canaries are surprisingly varied. Of the stops, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria tends to be the one people talk about: Year-round sunshine on a volcanic island. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 185,010 gross tons, Costa Smeralda is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. A February sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
