The seven volcanic islands of the Canary Islands are so close to each other that they are ideal for a relaxing cruise from island to island. What's more, you can easily reach your starting port from Germany in just a few hours by plane. On board the Mein Schiff ® you can discover the islands during a cruise lasting several days. For example, you can set off from Gran Canaria, the island of historic buildings and old cathedrals, via the enchanting flower island of Madeira and the green paradise of La Palma to Tenerife and Fuerteventura, each of which will delight you with their unique flora and fauna and picturesque places along the rugged coasts.
No extra costs. In all tariffs.
Each of the Canary Islands has its own charm and attractions. Tenerife, for example, attracts visitors with the old town of La Laguna, the Masca Gorge, the pyramids of Güímar, the Orotava Valley or the 3,715 metre-high Pico del Teide, the third highest island volcano in the world. On Fuerteventura, Casa Santa Maria, a renovated farmhouse from the 17th century, the Faro de Jandía lighthouse and the El Jable dune area await visitors. Highlights on Gran Canaria include the Dedo de Dios (Finger of God) rock, the dunes of Maspalomas and the capital Las Palmas with its harbour and historic old town. There are also many exciting museums, parks and the botanical garden in Tafira Alta.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife
The best way to discover the varied nature between volcanic rock and exotic fauna is to visit the Cañadas del Teide National Park, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. For an impressive overview of the island, take a panoramic drive through the Anaga Mountains - including wine tasting - or take the cable car to the highest volcano on the island, from where you can enjoy breathtaking views.
Funchal
From the harbour in Funchal, you can visit Madeira, which is also known as the island of flowers. No wonder - the mild climate allows the flora to grow lushly all year round and welcomes you with overwhelming colours and fragrances. Discover the island in a sporty way by bike or from the seaside on a catamaran trip. If you prefer to take things slower, sit back and relax on a panoramic cruise or treat yourself to a meal in one of the excellent restaurants.
Las Palmas
Historic colonial buildings, lush palm trees and hidden beaches are just waiting to be discovered. From Las Palmas, you can visit Gran Canaria, which boasts diverse nature, an eventful history and culinary delights. Let your personal guide show you around the city or explore the island in a minivan.
