Volcanic Trade Winds – Lanzarote, Funchal & Gran Canaria
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Santa Cruz de Tenerife on November 30, 2026 visits Puerto del Rosario, Arrecife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Funchal. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Sun all year round, volcanic landscapes, and more variety between islands than you'd expect. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura's sun-baked capital of dunes. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Smeralda carries up to 5,224 guests over 20 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
