The Canary Islands’ beauty and popularity makes them a regular feature on a range of various cruise itineraries.
The islands are highly accessible for UK holidaymakers, with a wide selection of roundtrip sailings from Southampton available all year round. These generally last between ten and 14 nights and often stop off at Iberian hotspots like Vigo, Seville and Lisbon, as well as the heavenly Azores and the sumptuous island of Madeira.
Fly cruises direct to the Canaries are available from several UK airports. These cruises are sometimes shorter (from seven nights) and can focus exclusively on the Canaries, or add Madeira, Morocco, Spain or Portugal to their list of destinations. Flight time to the islands is typically around four and a half hours.
The Canaries often appear on transatlantic and world cruises too. Repositioning cruises set sail from Southampton or the Western Mediterranean, then stop off at the Canaries before heading across the Atlantic to the Caribbean and Florida – combining the best tropical archipelagos from both sides of the ocean in one trip.
