Maspalomas Beach
Tenerife La Palma Madeira
Tenerife is the first of three beautiful Canary Islands for you to explore on this rewarding seven-night spring cruise. After arriving in Santa Cruz, where Boudicca will be waiting for you to board, you’ll have the chance to discover many of the island’s highlights. Among the best of them are the mysterious Pyramids of Güímar and the secret gardens, which exhibit some of the most dangerous poisonous plants on Earth. There’s also mighty Mount Teide – Spain’s highest peak – which can be reached by cable car.
You will then embark on a short sailing to Gran Canaria. Once docked in Las Palmas you can venture into the island’s capital and admire the mix of architecture within the pretty Vegueta district; journey into the picturesque Agaete valley; or visit the historic towns of Teror and Arucas where you’ll find wide avenues lined with fine colonial-style architecture. To make the most of Gran Canaria’s renowned warmth, join a tour to the radiant Maspalomas Beach. Featuring impressive sand dunes, clear waters, oasis palm trees and lagoons, it’s the perfect place to relax.
Affectionately known as the ‘Pretty Island’, the entirety of La Palma is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It certainly lives up to its nickname, boasting scenery that ranges from vast forests and tumbling waterfalls to the dramatic San Antonio Volcano. Santa Cruz is your gateway to the breathtaking Caldera de Taburiente National Park, home to one of the largest volcanic craters on Earth. You can also tour to the prehistoric Los Tilos forest, or perhaps stay in the city and explore the delightful Old Quarter.
You’ll then sail to Funchal, on the ‘garden island’ of Madeira. Here you can admire the stunning landscapes via the unique levada walking trails, take in the enchanting gardens, or indulge in afternoon tea at the world-famous Reid’s Hotel. For a unique experience, head to Cabo Girão where the sea cliff – one of the world’s highest – can be viewed directly beneath your feet from a glass-floored platform.
Before reaching Malaga you’ll visit Gibraltar, ‘the Mediterranean’s little bit of Britain’, for the chance to encounter wild Barbary Apes and superb views at the top of the Rock.
