Canary Islands Cruises
Cruise the sun-drenched Canary Islands, Madeira and the Azores with our unique collection of cruises
The sunshine islands of the Canaries and the Azores in the North Atlantic have much to offer on a cruise holiday.
Apart from the lure of year-round sun, the Canary Islands promise cruise-goers impressive beaches, dramatic volcanic landscapes, sand dunes, gardens and world-class nature reserves.
Gran Canaria boasts stunning desert scenery, amazing rock formations set amidst volcanic landscapes, and the flourishing greenery of Palmitos Nature Park as well as great beaches.
Tenerife offers green valleys, lush plantations and the volcanic ‘moonscape’ of the Mount Tiede National Park as well as its wonderful beaches.
The beaches of Lanzarote have long been favoured cruise destinations for sun-seekers, along with its fantastic solidified lava landscapes, best viewed from Fire Mountain.
Fuerteventura has a landscape formed as much by the climate as its volcanic past. The island’s proximity to the Sahara blesses it with particularly sunny weather, perfect for enjoying some of the best beaches in the Canaries!
The small islands of El Hierro, La Palma and La Gomera are less-well known but no less beautiful. El Hierro has a mixture of arid prairies and fertile land of Valle del Golfo planted with vines, bananas and pineapples.
The ‘garden isle’ of Madeira blossoms with colourful flowers - in the parks, botanical gardens and the vineyards that produce the wine that bears its name.
The lush and mountainous islands of the Azores, lying nearly a thousand miles from the nearest mainland, provide perfect get-away-from-it-all cruise destinations. The warm maritime climate supports a huge variety of exotic trees and flowers, and on Sao Miguel a huge volcanic crater cradles two picturesque lakes – one emerald green, one deep blue.
