Volcanic Slopes – Lanzarote, Fuerteventura & Madeira

About this cruise

7 nights, 4 ports, all from Santa Cruz de Tenerife on December 21, 2026. The route visits Arrecife, Puerto del Rosario, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Funchal and the whole thing just flows. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. Black-sand beaches on one island, dense laurel forests on another. The Canaries are surprisingly varied. 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 December cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
