This carefully orchestrated cruise aligns with two of Spain’s most beloved annual celebrations—the lively Cádiz Carnival, renowned for its joyful festivities of humour and song, and the Tenerife Carnival, ranking second in size only to the famed Rio Carnival.
Additionally, your itinerary is thoughtfully curated to showcase the region’s numerous UNESCO-recognised natural and cultural treasures, such as the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna on Tenerife and the Biosphere Reserve of La Palma.
Amidst these cultural delights, you’ll find ample opportunities to bask in winter warmth on the Canary Islands’ sun-kissed beaches, including the golden dunes of Maspalomas in Gran Canaria. Meanwhile, Tenerife and Madeira unveil captivating volcanic landscapes and fragrant gardens, respectively.
In addition, astronomers from Go Stargazing will help you explore the fabulous night time skies that can be experienced whilst out at sea.
