Canary Islands & Geminid Meteor Shower with Fred. Olsen and Go Stargazing

A celestial spectacle and island serenity—experience the Geminid Meteor Shower in one of the world’s finest stargazing destinations.

Sail to the year-round warmth of the Canary Islands, where palm-lined promenades and sun-drenched beaches invite relaxation. This special voyage has been carefully timed to include an extended stay in La Palma—an internationally renowned stargazing haven—coinciding with the peak of the Geminid Meteor Shower.

With astronomers from Go Stargazing on board, you’ll have expert guidance as you witness one of the most dazzling celestial displays of the year from both the ship’s open decks and La Palma’s pristine dark skies.

Beyond the stargazing magic, unwind on golden and black-sand beaches, embark on a dolphin-watching tour, or savour papas arrugadas with mojo sauce for a true taste of the Canaries. Over in Madeira, its lush landscapes and vibrant exotic flowers thrive in the subtropical climate, best admired in the island’s botanical gardens or along its picturesque levada trails. And, of course, no visit would be complete without sampling Madeira’s famous fortified wine.

With the beauty of the islands by day and the spectacle of the Geminid meteors streaking across the night sky, this voyage promises an unforgettable blend of relaxation, exploration, and cosmic wonder.
