A cruise to the Canary Islands offers a different kind of escape in just a few days: explore the almost otherworldly volcanic landscapes of Tenerife or Lanzarote, enjoy the dunes, beaches, and ocean-centered lifestyle of Gran Canaria or Fuerteventura, then discover unspoiled islands like La Palma or La Gomera, where nature is greener, wilder, and quieter.
The destination seamlessly blends swimming, sweeping views, nature excursions, and time aboard the ship, with cruises designed for both family vacations and a more intimate exploration of the archipelago.

Explore the volcanic landscapes of Tenerife and Lanzarote
Travelers often cite Teide, Timanfaya, and the lava tunnels as the most memorable moments of a Canary Islands cruise. They appreciate these stark, almost lunar landscapes, which give the archipelago an identity unlike that of other beach destinations.
Enjoy the beaches, dunes, and ocean
Traveler feedback also highlights simpler days centered on sand, seaside walks, and swimming. Las Canteras, Maspalomas, Corralejo, and Lanzarote's beaches appeal for their wide-open spaces, convenience, and lively Atlantic atmosphere, with cafes, restaurants, walking, and relaxing in the sun.
Stroll through markets, ports, and Canarian cities
Many travelers enjoy experiencing a more local side of the islands during port calls, especially in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Las Palmas, and the archipelago's quieter ports. Markets, fresh produce, outdoor cafés, small shops, and waterfront strolls naturally complement the volcanic landscapes and beaches.
Sit down at a guachinche for local wine and papas arrugadas
On Tenerife, travelers looking beyond the standard sights often mention guachinches, casual eateries rooted in the island's winemaking tradition. They offer an informal atmosphere, local wine, grilled meats, papas arrugadas, and generous portions, often in the highlands or villages of the north.
Continue to El Confital, the wild coastal walk beyond Las Canteras
On Gran Canaria, travelers often enjoy the long Las Canteras beach, but some reviews recommend continuing toward La Isleta and El Confital. The scenery becomes rockier and more open to the Atlantic, with trails, volcanic rocks, city views, and less of a beach-resort atmosphere than the main beach.
Lunch in El Golfo amid the volcanic coast, ocean, and grilled fish
On Lanzarote, travelers often remember El Golfo because the village combines a striking volcanic setting with a relaxed seaside break. After the cliffs of Los Hervideros or the nearby green lagoon, a lunch of grilled fish offers a more tangible experience than simply touring the lunar landscapes.
The Canaries in brief
The Canary Islands are an archipelago of 7 large islands and multitudes of islets in the heart of the Mediterranean. Many people think that the name Canaries refers to these discreet yellow birds, but this is far from the truth. The name comes from "canariae insulae", meaning the island of dogs. When the first explorers came to this archipelago, they were surprised to see the large dogs that had taken refuge here. They decided to pay tribute to them by naming the land after them. Rest assured, during your cruise to the Canary Islands, you won't have a horde of dogs as your only companion. This archipelago, which covers almost 7,400 km², is a top destination for bathing and lounging enthusiasts. Every year, more than 10 million holidaymakers join the 2,000,000 inhabitants of the Canaries. So you'll be well looked after throughout your stopovers on land. The Canary Islands are of volcanic origin. This is reflected in their lunar landscapes, black sand beaches, fumaroles and volcanic cones.
Top destinations in the Canary Islands
Each of the islands that make up the Canary archipelago has its own unique identity, promising a constant source of wonder. On Tenerife, the archipelago's largest island, let yourself be lost in the strange landscape of red, brown and yellow craters and unusual rock formations surrounding the El Teide volcano. If you're feeling a little adventurous, take advantage of your stopover in Tenerife to take the cable car and make a breathtaking ascent of El Teide, Spain's highest peak. Are you interested in history? Take a stroll through Tenerife's historic Laguna district, which served as a model for other colonial towns in America. With its cobbled streets and colonial-style cafés and bars, Puerto de la Cruz in the north of Tenerife is a pleasant place to stroll. The casa de Colon, which recalls the passage of Christopher Columbus, and the Cueva Pintada museum, which houses a rich collection tracing the Canaries' past, are must-sees for culture and history buffs. If you have enough time on land, treat yourself to a hike through the island's national parks. Choose between the Anagra and Teno nature parks.
Fuerteventura, renowned for its clear, shallow waters, is home to numerous diving spots. Climbing enthusiasts can take advantage of this stopover to climb the sacred mountain of Tindaya, 400 m high. If your Canary Islands cruise itinerary includes a stopover in Lanzarote, make the most of your time ashore to admire the legacy left by painter and sculptor César Manrique all over the island. Before leaving the island, don't miss the unique natural spectacle offered by the Los Verdes Caves and enjoy a moment of relaxation on the island's black sand beaches. La Gomera is one of the Canaries' lesser-known islands. Some cruise companies include it in their itineraries, so you can enjoy a moment of peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the holiday crowds. A stroll through the Valle Gran Rey and a tasting of the best of Canary gastronomy in one of San Sebastian's restaurants are on the program for this stopover.
Gran Canaria, the archipelago's third-largest island, is another must for Canary Island cruises. The pastel architecture of Agüimes, a pretty village dating back to the 15th century, is one of the island's must-sees. To enhance your stopover, treat yourself to a gourmet interlude in a restaurant located in the heart of the Barranco de Guayadeque caves, a spectacular ravine. If you have time, take a stroll through the troglodytic houses of Artenara or admire the cave paintings on display at the Cueva Pintada museum and archaeological park.
The ideal season for a cruise to the Canaries
The Canaries enjoy a mild climate all year round, but if you want to make the most of the destination's must-see sites, plan your cruise between March and May, or between September and November. There are fewer holidaymakers and, what's more, the temperatures are milder. Throughout the year, numerous festivals are organized in the Canaries. You can refer to them to plan your trip. If you don't want to miss the Canary Islands Music Festival or the great Carnival for which the destination is famous, it's best to plan your sea trip in January, February and March. If you want to attend the Gay Pride or the International Film Festival, plan your cruise between April and May.
