Explore this sun-soaked archipelago
Enjoy some winter sunshine on this cruise to the Canaries.
Relax to the rhythms of island life on this winter-sun cruise around the beautiful Canary Islands.
Renowned for their unusual landscapes, year-round sunshine and glorious beaches, the popular Canary Island archipelago also boast traditional villages, pretty towns and charming capital cities that are well worth exploring. Admire colourful Canarian architecture, discover a variety of quirky museums and boutiques, and experience the vibrant street cafe scenes of Santa Cruz and Las Palmas. As the islands gear up for Christmas, unusual Nativity Scenes pop up in unlikely places and some of the beaches become home to incredible festive sand sculptures; possibly the most impressive of these can be seen on Las Canteras beach in Gran Canaria.
Lanzarote has its fair share of Beléns, or Nativity displays, too. Perhaps make the most of the island’s duty-free shopping while in the main port of Arrecife, or head to Teguise to browse the stalls of its sprawling market. While in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, which sparkles with Christmas lights at this time of year, you may like to do a spot of Christmas shopping at the festive markets in the city’s downtown area; or head to the Confeitaria Nacional to sample Portuguese Christmas cakes and sweets. Bolo Rei, or King Cake, is the country’s most traditional festive cake, sold by the slice or as a whole.
