Cruises to Canaries
Charming villages, lush forests, and scenic trails, or relax by turquoise Atlantic watersβan unforgettable destination for culture, adventure, and relaxation in equal measure.
Where spring feels eternal and volcanic landscapes meet Spanish charm, the Canary Islands offer a cruise experience unlike any other. From golden beaches and moonlike lava fields to colonial towns and rugged coastlines, this Atlantic archipelago blends natural wonder with cultural richness. Cruising the Canaries opens the door to both lively ports and tranquil island escapes, all from the comfort of a luxury or premium ocean voyage.
Many travelers choose Canary Islands cruises for their blend of rugged natural beauty and cultural charm. Whether sailing as part of a Spain or Mediterranean itinerary, or on a Canary-focused route, guests enjoy a mix of vibrant cities, black-sand beaches, historic old towns, and scenic volcanic interiors.
Popular stops include Tenerife, known for Mount Teide and its UNESCO-listed old quarters; Gran Canaria, home to golden beaches and dramatic ravines; and Lanzarote, with its otherworldly lava fields and César Manrique–inspired architecture. Smaller islands like La Palma and El Hierro appeal to those seeking quieter escapes, lush forests, and stargazing opportunities.
Cruises often begin or end in Lisbon, Barcelona, or even Cape Town, with some itineraries combining the Canaries with Morocco, Madeira, or the Azores. For travelers seeking an extended adventure, select Grand Voyages sail from the Canaries toward South America or Northern Europe, offering scenic sea days and a seamless blend of cultures.
