Canarian Flavours Cruise

Day 1 - Gran Canaria

Arrive: Mon 30 December 2024 / Depart: Mon 30 December 2024 at 23:00

This sub-tropical oasis is the ideal place to relax. With its tranquil beaches of volcanic sand, you'll find it remarkably easy to let the time just slip away. Year-round sunshine and the option to visit the main resort area of Playa del Ingles on the south coast or the quieter Veguetta make Las Palmas the ideal destination, whatever your frame of mind. In Veguetta, the Christopher Columbus Museum provides an interesting diversion, while above the city the Bandama Crater reveals the island's volcanic past. With tranquil beaches of volcanic sand, you can combine a leisurely stroll to view the Portuguese-influenced architecture with a few hour's sunbathing to take it all in.

Day 2 - Tenerife

Arrive: Tue 31 December 2024 at 07:30 / Depart: Tue 31 December 2024 at 23:00

Day 3 - Fuerteventura

Arrive: Wed 01 January 2025 at 11:00 / Depart: Wed 01 January 2025 at 21:00

Fuerteventura is the Canary Island of choice for beach connoisseurs. Its coastline morphs from the 10 kilometre-long blonde sweep in the Parque Natural de las Dunas to the wind-whipped sands in Playa de Sotavento, which hosts the Windsurfing World Championships every year. Away from the coast, the island’s interior is blanketed with lava fields, euphorbia valleys and clock-stopped villages.

Day 4 - Lanzarote

Arrive: Thu 02 January 2025 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 02 January 2025 at 17:00

With the added attraction of a lunar landscape nearby created by volcanic activity, the capital of Lanzarote is an alluring destination to explore, experience and enjoy. From the stunning scenery of the Timanfaya (Fire Mountain) National Park to delightful beaches and quaint whitewashed houses with luminescent green shutters, Arrecife offers something for every visitor. After marvelling at the magnificent array of purple, blue and orange colours in the park, you can sample a dish in the restaurant where the meat is barbecued over the heat of the volcanic crater that gave the park its name. Back in the town of Puerto Naos, the Castillo San Jose overlooking the harbour features a modern art collection and another restaurant looking out over sea, not to mention a shopping centre to browse through.

Day 5 - At Sea

Day 6 - Funchal

Arrive: Sat 04 January 2025 at 08:00 / Depart: Sat 04 January 2025 at 18:00

Madeira is more than sweet wine. It's an excuse to enjoy fine beaches, explore beautiful gardens and discover why Funchal is called the Pearl of the Ocean. Whether you want to enjoy a relaxing stroll along the promenade, visit the traditional and colourful flower market in the centre of Funchal, or taste the lovely wine that takes the island's name, Madeira has it all and more. Rising from the sea to the mountainside, the capital, Funchal, is a gardener's paradise with Birds of Paradise flowers, banana plantations, farms and vineyards everywhere. If you go shopping, don't miss the Se, the famous 16th century cathedral. If you have time visit Camacha, east of Funchal, known as the centre of Madeira's willow craft, and the hillside town of Monte which you can reach via a breathtaking cable car ride.

Day 7 - La Gomera

Arrive: Sun 05 January 2025 at 13:00 / Depart: Sun 05 January 2025 at 19:00

La Gomera is the Canary Islands stripped bare. Its beaches are quiet, its villages are sleepy and its countryside is fleeced with forests and dramatic mountain ridges. The catalogue of valleys and ravines make the island an obvious choice for walkers. But trekking isn’t the only activity on offer here. Scuba divers can swim through bath-warm waters as they search for tuna, parrotfish and trumpet fish.

Day 8 - Gran Canaria
