The Canary Islands offer a year-round, luxuriously warm and sun-filled destination , ideal for those seeking a relaxing cruise. These islands are a Spanish archipelago, but each have their own unique character, making a Canary Island cruise full of fascinating contrasts .

Canary Islands Travelling Tip

Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are the four main islands that make up the Canary Islands and with a Canary Island cruise, you can choose what island-hopping you would like to do to tailor the holiday of your dreams.

The most common ‘weather problem’ in the Canary Islands is sunburn and sunstroke. Always wear plenty of sunscreen and keep well-hydrated to avoid these issues.

Top Canary Islands

Each island in the Canaries is quite distinct from its neighbour in what it has to offer, giving those enjoying a Canary Island cruise a chance to sample a little bit of everything. Below, we give you a flavour of each island and what you may expect.

Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is the third largest island , but it is fondly referred to as the ‘ Continent in Miniature ’, with scenic diversity across this neatly rounded island making it one of the Canary Islands’ most popular.

Gran Canaria’s interior is rugged with mountains and lush green with subtropical forests. As a popular hiking destination, it has well-marked trails, enabling even the most novice explorer to enjoy its impressive views.

The colourful capital of Las Palmas is famed for its vibrant nightlife, but stroll a little further into its neighbourhoods and there is plenty of history to discover.

For the best beaches, head south to Maspalomas . With 17km of glorious coastline, consisting of wide sandy beaches and shallow waters, it is a beach-lovers paradise. --> Gran Canaria cruises

Interesting fact on Gran Canaria

The Canary Islands are not named after the yellow bird, but instead ‘Canaria’ is the Latin word for dog. It is thought that when the first Europeans arrived, they found large dogs on the island of Gran Canaria. However, alternative reports suggest the islands could be named after what the Romans called ‘sea dogs’, referring to the seals that inhabited the island.

Tenerife is the largest and most popular of the Canary Islands . It has plenty to offer visitors looking for sun-filled days at the beach, with an abundance of bars, restaurants and shops along its main resorts of Playa Las Americas , Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje .

The UNESCO World Heritage Site of La Laguna offers a haven for those seeking culture. It is the oldest example of an unfortified colonial town with architecture dating back to between the 15-17th century. Here, you can spend the day exploring fine cathedrals, churches and historical monuments.

Step a little further inland and you will discover the wild side of Tenerife at the Teide National Park . This jaw-dropping landscape of craters, volcanoes and rivers of petrified lava encircle Tenerife’s highest peak, Mount Teide, also a volcano, which stands 3,718m above sea level. --> Tenerife cruises

Visiting tip for Tenerife

Tenerife is host to the world’s second largest carnival, after Rio de Janeiro. For two weeks in February, the spirit of the fiesta fills the island with spectacular, colourful parades and lively music and dancing.

Lanzarote is famous for its stunning landscape, featuring volcanic caves , lakes of lava and craters, making it quite a unique destination to visit. A trip to Timanfaya National Park is a must, when in Lanzarote, to get a full appreciation of this epic terrain.

The black sands are characteristic of the island, but for those yearning for golden beaches, Lanzarote has plenty of those too. One of the best can be found at Papagayo, where snorkelling in the clear waters is also a big attraction.

Lanzarote is a chic, stylish island and this is mainly due to its local, visionary architect, César Manrique. His artistic influence fought against the appearance of high-rise buildings and instead focused on bringing together art and nature, using a model based on sustainability. Take time to visit one of the Centres for Art, Culture and Tourism to gain an appreciation of Lanzarote’s creative spirit. --> Lanzarote cruises

Interesting fact on Lanzarote

The last volcanic eruption on the island was in 1824, but there is still a significant amount of heat just below the surface; in fact, enough to cook a meal! Visit El Diablo Restaurant at Timanfaya National Park and you can see how this in action.

Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura is one of the least developed islands and quieter in its character, however it still has plenty to offer. The pristine coastline of the island has a colossal 150km of white, sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters . With a cooling sea-breeze, which is claimed to contain beneficial, relaxing negative ions, this the perfect place to escape from it all.

The Atlantic breeze across the island creates waves of up to 2m and has given Fuerteventura a long tradition of windsurfing and kite surfing that attracts water sports enthusiasts from around the world.

Draw yourself away from the beaches and you will find pretty, traditional white-washed villages and towns offering Spanish tapas and local wines. --> Fuerteventura cruises

Fuerteventura fascinating fact

One of the island’s most famous delicacies is its Majorero cheese . Made from goat’s milk, this delicious cheese is widely available, but also has its own dedicated cheese shop.

Best time to visit the Canary Islands

As a year-round sunshine destination, the Canary Islands will provide a glorious holiday at almost any time of year. In mid-summer, it can become particularly warm with average temperatures reaching the high 20 °C .

Temperatures are still warm and reach the low 20 °C between December and February, however many visitors choose to seek out winter sunshine here at this time of year, so it can become busy.

Spring and autumn still have temperatures that allow days at the beach, but without the influx of tourists, these are normally considered the ideal time to visit the island.

Top Packing Tip

If you are considering visiting Teide National Park or one of the other more mountainous areas, pack a few extra layers, as it can get chilly when higher up.

Canary Islands Sights

From active and adventurous, to cultural and chilled, there is a wide variety of great things to see and do when taking a cruise around the Canary Islands. Below are the things that have caught our imagination:

Whale watching in Tenerife

Off the south west coast of Tenerife up to 26 species of whales can be found, offering a potential once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see these majestic marine mammals in their own natural habitat. Ethical guided tours are available with marine biologist guides. They will help you identify baleen whales, killer whales, dolphins, pilot whales and even the giant of the sea, the blue whale.

Jameos del Agua – Lanzarote

Jameos del Agua is an innovative and intriguing place, designed by Cesar Manrique from the naturally-occurring large openings in the lava tubes that have created two large caves. One of these caves hides a natural, clear lake that is home to thousands of albino crab species. The second is designed as a concert hall, delivering a magical evening out for its visitors

Las Palmas Cathedral – Gran Canaria

Las Palmas Cathedral is credited for being one of the most striking buildings in Gran Canaria, if not on the whole of the Canary Islands and with its beautiful bell tower and old, colourful stained-glass windows, it is clear to see why. It was the first church to be built on the Canary Islands, with work starting in 1500. However, it took one of the longest times to complete, finishing almost four centuries later. As a result, you can see a mixed influence in its architecture from Gothic, Renaissance and Neoclassical.

The remote island of El Hierro

If time allows and you are searching for true escapism, take a ferry from Tenerife to the remote island of El Hierro. This small, volcanic island only receives around 20,000 visitors per year. Here you can enjoy pure tranquillity, as you dive into its surrounding waters, discovering underwater cliffs that shelter colourful species of marine life, or hike through the enchanting, ancient forests where trees grow up to 8 metres tall.

Did you know…?

Several areas on the Canary Islands have been declared a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve , including Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and El Hierro. These are internationally recognised as protected areas that demonstrate a balanced relationship between humans and nature and that encourage sustainable development.

Regional Dishes

A Spanish archipelago with African and American influences and having access to some of the freshest seafood in the world, the cuisine found on the Canary Islands is unique, fresh and full of flavour. These are some of the local favourites:

More of an accompaniment than a dish, this spicy sauce is served with nearly every traditional dish on the islands. Made of garlic, olive oil, red or green pepper and cumin, this hot sauce can be made as hot as the weather!

Sancocho Canario

This traditional dish takes the freshest fish from the Canary Islands’ own local resource and serves it whole, with sweet potato, gofio (a Canarian roasted grain flour) and papas arrugadas (Spanish wrinkled potatoes). A simple, healthy dish that also enjoys a side of Mojo picón for that extra boost of flavour.

Rancho Canario

To satisfy your hunger after a day’s exploring, try Rancho Canario; a thick noodle soup made with chicken, pork, chickpeas and a selection of vegetables, including potatoes.

A foodie tip

One of Tenerife’s local delights is its honey, however, don’t get confused if asking for ‘Miel de Palma’, which translates literally as ‘honey of Palma’. This is actually a sauce made from the sap of palm tree and is used as a cooking ingredient.

To add to your pub quiz knowledge!

Tenerife has the largest waterpark in Europe : Siam Park. With 185 square kilometres of grounds, visitors can enjoy an impressively long network of slides and the highest artificial waves in the world!

The waters around the Canary Islands are home to one of the largest hard-shelled turtles in the world. The endangered Loggerhead Turtle can reach up to three feet in length and live for up to 67 years.

The Canary Island of La Gomera is where the whistling language originated. Called ‘Silbo Gomero’, it was developed to communicate across wide valleys.

The Canary Islands were one of Christopher Columbus’ stopovers on his way to the Americas. Lots of parallels can therefore identified between the Canaries and Latin America, both in terms of architecture and accent.

Top Travelling Tip

As a year-round destination, even in the winter, the waters at most beach resorts are warm enough for a swim, so bring your swimsuit! However, if you are a hiker, it is best not to plan your trip during the summer, as the heat can be a little too much!

About CANARY ISLANDS CRUISES

One of the Best Places to Visit in Spain

The Canary Islands are a gem of Europe, and one of Spain’s shining destinations. Nature lovers will rejoice in the hiking trails and underwater caves of La Palma. Feel the magic of a pre-historic forest in Garajonay National Park on La Gomera. Visit Spain’s highest peak – Mt. Tiede in Tenerife , and stare at the stunning landscape below. Rejoice in the culture and nightlife of Maspalomas in Gran Canaria. Gorgeous beaches, a perfect climate and historical significance–this destination truly has it all.

The Spanish Archipelago known as Islas Canarias

Islas Canarias as they are known are at the Southern Coast of Spain and are the largest and most populous portion of Macaronesia - a collection of four volcanic archipelagos off the continents of Africa and Europe. These islands were formed when the peaks of ocean-floor seamounts rose above the ocean's surface. Because of the resulting mountains, the islands have some of the best star gazing in the world, and even contain two renowned observatories.

What to Do on a Cruise to Spain

Your cruise to Spain may have various stops depending on your port of departure and length of travel. But there are a few things you must do on your holiday in Spain. From Barcelona , Palma (Majorca) , Cartagena , Granada (Malaga) , Seville (Cadiz) , Bilbo, and Alicante , there are many historical sites, monuments, and culturally-rich activities to enjoy. Eat tapas, taste wines, and see a Flamenco show. Depending on the time of year, you can also enjoy a variety of festivals that include battles involving paint, oranges, and even meringue.

Explore Our Three Canary Island Departure Ports

Spain, Malaga

Malaga lies on Spain's beautiful Costa del Sol (Coast of the Sun) and is famous for its cosmopolitan energy and cultural variety. Historical monuments serve as a backdrop to the city's modern character and of course, it's gorgeous beaches.

Spain, Santa Cruz de Tenerife

There's something for everyone in the capital of The Canary Islands, located on the chain's largest island. From celebrated beaches to historical monuments to avenues filled with shops and restaurants; the city is just a short drive away from the famous volcano of Mt. Teide - Spain's highest peak.

Lisbon, Portugal

Gaze at exquisite architecture, count the colours of the famous azulejos (ceramic tiles), and delve into the fantastic food of Lisbon before heading to the Islands. With Norwegian, you have multiple Portugal cruises to choose from, including numerous Transatlantic cruise itineraries.

Discover More With A CANARY ISLAND CRUISE SHORE EXCURSION

The many islands of Islas Canarias offer an unbelievable assortment of shore excursions, each with its own flavour, style and pace.

A Spain Family Holiday THEY'LL NEVER FORGET

Freestyle Cruising and family entertainment offered on Spain cruises allows guests of all sizes to experience the best holiday ever. Because on family holidays, it's all about options. And Norwegian's got them, from accommodations that fit all families to delicious dining choices even finicky eaters can't refuse.

They’ll be in heaven sampling the crystal waters, white beaches and black volcanic sands of the assorted islands. Craving a sense of adventure? From windsurfing to dune buggies to climbing mountains (volcanoes, in fact), the energetic fun never runs out. And for those seeking a more leisurely connection to culture – the wine, food, and history here will check every box.

Spain, Portugal & the Canary Islands Cruises

See classical architecture, hob-nob in hip bars or scale an imposing volcano.

Tucked into the far southwestern corner of Europe, the nations of the Iberian Peninsula are home to diverse cultural riches and myriad opportunities for outdoor exploration. Start a cruise holiday to experience Spain's Islamic-inflected architectural heritage at the Alhambra in Granada and the Giralda in Seville. See the dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters of Portugal's Algarve, and take exhilarating hikes around the calderas of active volcanoes in the Canary Islands. As an added bonus, the food and drink in Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands is life-altering – from finger foods like Spanish tapas and Portuguese petiscos to crisp white wines like Vinho Verde and bold reds from Rioja.

Turn Back the Clock

Retrace history along Spain's coast, from the lives of world-famous artists to monasteries dating back to the time of Christopher Columbus.

PICASSO AND PALS

The imaginary camaraderie between Picasso, Gaudi and Miro notwithstanding, the works of these men are a great way to add culture to your Spanish cruise. Visit Gaudi's Sagrada Familia Cathedral or Miro's 'Woman and Birds' sculpture in Barcelona. Then tour the impressive collection of the Picasso Museum in Málaga for something truly distinct.

WORLD HERITAGE

After you stroll through castles like the Alhambra that hearken back to Spain's Islamic past, visit the UNESCO World Heritage site that comprises Lisbon’s Belem Tower and Jerónimos Monastery, which date back to the Age of Explorations that led to the voyage of Christopher Columbus.

TRAIN TO THE PAST

Need a break from the bustle of Barcelona or the lazy crowds of Lisbon? Take a train down the coast to from Barcelona to Sitges, the capital of Catalonian chill or northward from Lisbon to Sintra, whose colourful Pena National Palace has quickly become one of Portugal's most notable sites.

Sun, Sand and Sipping

Nature is in abundant supply in Europe's sunniest sector. Laze on the sandy beaches of Spain and cliff-hewn shores or Portugal, scale volcanic craters in the exotic Canary Islands or sip fine wines in the region's stunning vineyards.

PICK YOUR BEACH

Whether you prefer to laze on the golden sands of Spain's Costa del Sol, such as at Málaga's La Malagueta Beach, or trek above dramatic cliffs in Portugal's Algarve region or on Tenerife in the Canary Islands, the Iberian Peninsula has all beach bums covered.

TAKE A HIKE

Earn your tapas by taking one of the region's many great hikes. In the Canary Islands, the hike up the Teide Volcano is positively exhilarating. Or get your physical activity in the city. Walk up to Barcelona's scenic Park Guell, or make the trek to Lisbon's stunning Miradouro da Graca viewpoint.

VINEYARD VIEWS

Soak in the sunshine and hillside vistas at the wineries of Portugal's Douro Valley, which specialises in Port dessert wines that are known to age for decades. Or head to Spain's Rioja region to sample bold, barrel-aged reds made from the indigenous grape Tempranillo.

Encounter beauty both natural and manmade in Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands

Sail to Spain to sink your teeth into tapas, Portugal to sip sweet port wine or the Canary Islands to feast on the majesty of natural bliss. No matter where in southwestern Europe you visit, a feast is guaranteed.

Spanish Sensibilities

From the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona to the Alhambra in Granada, a cruise to Spain lets you experience the great architecture of Iberia first-hand.

Power Through Portugal

See the expanse of Lisbon from the hilltop viewpoints scattered around the city, or go deeper into the countryside near Porto and see the pristine coastline at Matosinhos Beach.

Carry a dictionary with you, or update the 'Translate' app on your phone. Even in the major cities and ports of Spain and Portugal, English isn't widely spoken.

Pack your schedule lightly: the siesta culture of Spain means that cities and towns shut down for an hour every afternoon, which can shave off some time on your to-do list.

Portugal has famously relaxed views on punctuality, so factor in a few extra minutes when trying to get around.

A TAPESTRY OF TAPAS

The culinary patchwork of Spain, Portugal and Canary Islands is as colourful as the various languages its people speak and the many cultural traditions they follow. From the tapas in Spain to meat and potatoes covered in Canarian mojo sauce, you're sure to find many ways to express your contentment during your holiday.

PAELLA POWER

Featuring tender seafood and savoury sausage stir-fried with saffron rice, paella's claim to fame is simplicity. In one bite of this dish, you can taste all of the flavours that have made Spain's signature dish famous around the world.

REACH RIGHT IN

Whether you try tapas in Spain or petiscos in Portugal, a few things stay true: these small plates of meat dishes, pastries and sandwiches meant to be eaten by hand aren't tiny, and a friend to help you eat is just as useful as a glass of fruity sangria wine punch to wash it down.

CHEW ON CHURROS

These long, fried pastries covered in cinnamon and sugar not only taste better in Spain, from where they originated long ago, but they're also available in their first incarnation: served with a rich cup of hot chocolate, a meal so satisfying it's not even considered dessert.

Canary Islands Cruises from Southampton

Islands in the atlantic sun, 2023, 2024 & 2025 cruises from southampton.

Canary Islands cruises from Southampton are the perfect holiday and perfect setting for enjoying winter sun! Not just in winter though, as it is a great destination for year-round sunshine. Beautiful ports await you in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, and La Palma.

This volcanic archipelago is home to four of Spain’s seven largest national nature reserves, including the volcanic crater of Mount Teide on Tenerife and Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote. On a Canary Island cruise, you may experience gastronomic treasures, from Canarian potatoes, to savouring the best coffee in Europe at the coffee plantation.

You can city-hop, island-hop, and experience everything the area has to offer. And although if there are surely more things to appreciate than just the beaches and the gorgeous skies, on some days the azure waters and the shoreline backed by mountains could just be too alluring to refuse.

Every day here can provide a unique experience. Sample wine from a volcano vineyard in Lanzarote, walk on the black volcanic beaches of Fuerteventura, and visit the National Parks of La Palma.

Many Canary Islands cruises also include a visit to the Portuguese Garden Island of Madeira. Calling in at Funchal there’s a wealth of things to do here, from acclaimed hiking routes to wine tasting.

Port Heimaey Island cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Heimaey Island, Iceland, Westman Islands. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Heimaey Island is the largest in Iceland's Vestmannaeyjar archipelago ( Westman Islands ), as well as the most populated island off mainland Iceland. The isle covers a total area of approx 13 km2 (5 mi2) and has population around 4,500.

Heimaey is located approx 7 km (4 mi) off Iceland's southern coast. The airport and Westman Islands Golf Club cover a considerable part of the Island. Its only settlement is Vestmannaeyjar.

In January 1973, half of the town was destroyed by lava flow during the Eldfell Volcano's eruption. It threatened to close the town's harbour - main income source for the island. To prevent further damages, an operation was conducted - seawater was used to cool the advancing lava, thus the harbor was saved.

Every summer on Heimaey Iseland come to nest around 8 million puffins (seabirds with brightly colored beaks). Millions of other seabirds migrate to the island to feed and breed.

Heimaey is connected to mainland Iceland via Vestmannaeyjar Airport and also by a ferry.

Most of the locals live off fishing. Only during the island's annual festival, locals are allowed to catch a few puffins and eat them - at the festival or at home.

Cruise ships to Heimaey Island dock (anchor) at Vestmannaeyjar - town and archipelago off Iceland's south coast.
