Crusing the Canary Islands will take you to the Spanish archipelago which, in turn, forms one of the Spanish Autonomous Communities and an Outermost Region of the European Union. The archipelago is located just off the northwest coast of mainland Africa, 100 km west of the disputed border between Morocco and the Western Sahara. The sea currents which depart from Canary's coasts used to lead ships away to America and the islands highest to lowest are Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, Alegranza, La Graciosa and Montana Clara. Canaries cruises will give travellers the opportunity to visit year round sunshine and unspoilt destinations.
What to expect on Canary Island Cruises
It’s all too easy to take a cruise and, feeling the sun on your face and the breeze in your hair, scurry straight to an idyllic beach and do nothing more taxing than sunbathing, swimming, sailing, snorkelling and strolling in the myriad of beautiful destination ports.
Cruise to the Canary Islands to see why they have long been a popular destination with travellers heading here to search out the year-round warmth. Even if you have spent time on these shores before, nothing will quite prepare you for arriving in port on your cruise ship. As you sail towards your destination, your birds eye view from high on deck truly reveals the majesty of this dramatic landscape.??Four of Spain’s seven major national nature reserves are located among this volcanic archipelago – the volcanic crater of Mount Teide on Tenerife and Lanzarote’s Timanfaya National park being just two. During a day ashore, the diversity of a cruise will become clearly visible. There are fields of petrified lava, lush vineyards and quaint whitewashed villages. Plus, not forgetting the bustling resorts and brilliant white and black beaches. Whatever your interests, a Canaries cruise will most certainly satisfy them.
