Cruise Overview

Volcanoes have left their mark everywhere here – on snow-capped Mount Teide, on black sand beaches, in rich soils and natural sea pools – yet each island is unique. Palms, pines, vineyards, and banana plantations each offer their own shade of green. On some islands you’ll see terraced farms clinging to valley walls. On others, trails trace the cliffs and reward hikers with breathtaking ocean views. And there’s always something new to do. Explore historic colonial towns, national parks, and nature reserves. Discover cuisines that reflect both mainland traditions and the islands’ distinctive culture and abundance. Shop for colorful pottery and jewelry made from lava. Listen to Canarian minstrels coax beautiful folk tunes from the tiny guitar known as a timple. Surround yourself with sunshine, sand, and the soul of a place that works its way into your heart and never lets go
