Canary Islands
An enticing blend of Spanish charm and African sunshine, the Canary Islands are scattered like treasures in the Atlantic Ocean. Just off the coast of Africa, the Canary Island year-round sunshine has made it one of the very best winter sun destinations.
Visit Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote, La Palma and Fuerteventura, and experience some of Europe's most dramatic scenery, from mountainous volcanic landscapes to vast golden sand dunes and charcoal black shores. It's impossible to choose between these sun-drenched holiday spots, which is why a cruise is the best way to get to know every single one.
