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. Keep an eye out for Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: 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. Santa Cruz de Tenerife itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. A February sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. That's 7 nights well spent.
