Canary Islands Cruise
Islands of eternal spring.
While Europe lies under fog, you stand on deck in the warm light, the snow-capped Teide before you above an island of black lava. A few hours later the ship anchors off La Palma, green and steep, and in the evening the scent of pines hangs over the water. The Canary Islands have all year round what the rest of Europe misses in winter.
Seven islands, and each a world of its own. Tenerife with the Teide, the highest mountain in Spain; Gran Canaria as a lively hub; Lanzarote with its lunar landscape of lava; the green valleys of La Palma and the calm of La Gomera. Many routes link the Canary Islands with Madeira and its city of flowers, Funchal, and with the Moroccan ports of Casablanca and Tangier, where Africa feels close enough to touch.

You travel aboard small ships, above all Ponant's, which reach even the more remote islands and anchorages. As a destination the Canaries are rewarding all year; they are at their finest in spring and autumn, when the light is clear and the air mild. The voyages usually last around ten nights, with longer Atlantic arcs of up to three weeks. The islands also belong to our larger travel world of the Atlantic Islands.

Under sail
The queens of the region: under sail
The Canary Islands lie in the trade winds, and hardly any cruising ground carries the tall ships more beautifully. Aboard the Sea Cloud II and the Sea Cloud Spirit the crew still climb into the yards and set the sails by hand, canvas by canvas; the windjammers of Star Clippers work their sails from the deck by winch and yet present an equally majestic sight. This is sailing cruising, the comfort of a small luxury ship, carried by the trade winds.
