Canary Islands cruises.

Tenerife: A destination for everyone

Of the six islands where cruise ships dock, Tenerife is the largest. Take a family cruise and everyone will have a great time on Tenerife or one of the other Canary Islands. Hike to the top of Pico del Teide  for panoramic views of the island. The capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife has long shopping streets,  a park with several types of palm trees and a central square where you can throw coins into the pond.  What will you wish for? Tenerife is a great destination for everyone. Families with children visit Siam Water Park, take a romantic boat trip to spot dolphins  and history buffs go exploring at the Pirámides de Güímar. Tenerife sets a high standard for the rest of your Canary Islands cruise.

Always windward on Fuerteventura

The island for surfers , beach lovers and anyone who loves touring. Of course, we are talking about Fuerteventura! Put on that tight suit and take on the high waves.  The climate allows for year-round surfing. Scattered around the island are great beaches. Wide sandy beaches, black pearls and hidden coves. Which one stands out? Popcorn Beach!  Sounds delicious. Visit the picturesque villages and stroll through the cozy town of Corralejo! Which is also directly where the ships of Norwegian Cruise Line and others dock.

Discover Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is the island of high mountains, vast dunes and small-scale villages. You disembark at the capital Las Palmas where you immediately fall head first into the Spanish spheres (read aioli). Stroll along the boulevard that transitions into the Dunas de Maspalomas. A desert area to fool everyone back home into thinking you are in Africa. Sample delicious tapas, wander through the hidden gem Barranco de Las Vacas and finish with a photo shoot in Puerto de Mogán.  Then you will instantly have tangible memories of this All Inclusive cruise to the Canary Islands. 

A gem of an island: Lanzarote

The Canary Islands have volcanic origins.  This is easily visible on the island of Lanzarote! On your cruise, perhaps with family-owned shipping company MSC Cruises, you'll admire unique lava landscapes, multiple volcanoes and spectacular views. Visit the cactus garden  and keep your hands inside! El Lago Verde is the famous green lake surrounded by black sand, red earth and volcanic rocks. Quite the color contrast! Other sights you won’t want to miss include Timanfaya National Park, the salt flats of Janubio and the capital city of Arrecife.

The natural spectacle of La Palma and La Gomera

In case you thought we had already discussed enough nature and greenery, the greenest islands in the Canary Islands are still to come! La Palma and La Gomera are gems of unspoiled nature. On a cruise, these are the smallest islands in the Canary Islands  where cruise ships dock.  You can see, do and experience an awful lot. From walking and hiking to relaxing with your butt in the sand.

The best travel period & weather in the Canary Islands

Are you planning a Canary Islands cruise? Then you’ll want to know when the best time to go is.  Due to its ideal location off Morocco, the temperature in the Canary Islands is sunny and warm all year round.  All islands have a subtropical climate and average temperatures between 18 and 24 degrees. During the summer vacations, the islands are crowded with vacationers and there are (almost) no cruises to the Canary Islands during these months. But just when the days here are getting darker, more rain is starting to fall and we are craving more and more sunshine , the cruise ships are heading to this beautiful destination. Book your cruise to the Canary Islands between November and April for a sunny vacation during the winter months.
