Canary Island Cruises

Canary Island cruises encompass the Canaries, Madeira, Azores and Cape Verde Islands. This spectacular region of the world boasts beach resorts, volcanoes, rugged scenery and even desert, all off the west coast of Africa. The African heat is tempered by the Atlantic Ocean to provide a climate in the Canaries that is mild to warm in winter and hot in summer. Consequently Canary Islands cruises are an all year round destination with most cruises taking place between autumn and Spring.

Cruising the Canaries is a popular holiday choice and there are seven Canary Islands scattered some 70 miles off the coast of Morocco. Gran Canaria offers busy resorts, impressive architecture and a mini Sahara while Tenerife has mountainous rainforests and great beaches. Lanzarote features moon-like landscapes in its Fire Mountain Volcanic Park and is close to the semi desert Fuertaventura with its extensive sandy beaches, popular across the world with wind surfers and water sports enthusiasts.

Further out,CanaryIslands Cruises can also take in the unspoilt mountainous volcanic islands of La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. Green and mountainous Madeira, 250 miles to the north, has its capital Funchal to entertain you with its maze of winding cobbled streets and traditional sled rides down the steep streets. Also called the ‘Pearl on the Ocean’, Madeira is filled with beautiful gardens and you will be surrounded by banana plantations, lush greenery and vineyards.
