Lanzarote Cruises
Cruise to Lanzarote in 2025 & 2026
The lunar-like landscape of Lanzarote tells the story of this island’s volcanic past. Red earth and arid mountains contrast white-washed houses as you cruise into the main port in Lanzarote, found in peaceful Arrecife, Lanzarote’s capital.
From fascinating museums to Fire Mountain in Timanfaya National Park, there are plenty of experiences to enjoy in the fourth-largest Canary Island.
Why should you cruise to Lanzarote?
Winter sun
Whether you would prefer to stay in Arrecife or venture into Lanzarote’s crater-studded landscape, there is so much to discover on the island under warm winter sun, with slightly higher temperatures than the other Canary Islands.
History and architecture
Arrecife has been Lanzarote’s capital since 1852. Here you can explore lanes lined with fishermen’s cottages, cafés and shops, or head into the town centre, where you will find the San Ginés Lagoon, dotted with fishing boats.
Cuisine
Lanzarote offers a mix of traditional Canarian flavours with a modern twist in its restaurants, making it a great destination for food lovers interested in authentic regional cuisine. The island’s cuisine is known for its simplicity and reliance on local produce, fresh seafood, and unique flavours influenced by its volcanic soil.
Timanfaya National Park
You could also head to the vast lava fields of Timanfaya National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which as if you have been transported to another world. You could join an exhilarating trek to El Cuervo Volcano, or enjoy a unique barbeque lunch, cooked with the heat of the volcano.
Top Lanzarote excursions
Explore more by joining us on one of the excursions we have prepared for you.
Fire Mountain and Timanfaya National Park
Discover the volcanic origins of the Canary Islands at Timanfaya, also known as Fire Mountain. Once at the national park, begin a tour of the craters and lava beds in this lunar-like terrain. After exploring here, see other fascinating sights such as the ‘boiling waters’ of Los Hervideros and the salt pit crater at Janubio.
Fire Mountain with Volcano BBQ
Frequently included in our list of ‘top quality-scoring tours’, this is certainly something unique that we are confident you will enjoy. Lanzarote is known as the ‘Island of Volcanoes’ for good reason: the landscape of Lanzarote is punctuated by over 300 volcanic cones overlooking blackened lava fields which were created between 1730 and 1736 when almost a third of the island was covered in lava. Even today, volcanic activity can be observed in Timanfaya National Park and on this excursion, your BBQ meal will be cooked using the very same heat source that altered the island’s physical shape, as well as its agricultural and cultural identities.
El Cuervo Volcanic Trek
Trek into the famous Cuervo Volcano, also known as The Ravens Boiler. Begin your tour by travelling through Puerto del Carmen to the outskirts of Timanfaya National Park. Now an extinct wonder, follow the inside perimeter of this volcano and take in more lunar landscapes as you enter and leave, admiring rocky winding paths and surrounding volcanoes in the distance. After the trek, the tour continues to the village of Yaiza where you will enjoy a tea or coffee.
Jameos del Agua Cave & Northern Lanzarote
This excursion highlights César Manrique's masterpieces in Lanzarote: Jameos del Agua, an underground water garden with a unique natural lake, and Mirador del Rio, a stunning viewpoint offering panoramic views of the island and Chinijo Archipelago. The tour also includes a visit to an Aloe Vera Farm in Orzola before returning to Arrecife.
