Canary Islands

Sunshine when the UK is at its greyest. The Canary Islands mix golden beaches, volcanic landscapes and lively harbour towns, and they’re warm all year round. Cruise between Lanzarote, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura and unpack just once.

Winter sun with P&O Cruises
Skip the airport and sail straight to the sunshine from Southampton, usually for around two weeks, with stops in Spain, Portugal or Madeira on the way. Prefer to fly? P&O’s fly-cruise holidays include flights and transfers and are ATOL protected, so you can be on a beach while everyone else is still at sea.

More ways to cruise the Canaries

Classic cruising from the UK
Cunard sails to the Canaries from Southampton, with afternoon tea, black-tie evenings and plenty of time to soak up the sun on deck. Ambassador Cruise Line offers no-fly sailings from ports around the UK.

Big ships, plenty to do
MSC Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line and Princess Cruises combine island-hopping with pools, shows and plenty of places to eat. A great pick for families and groups after sunshine with lots going on.

Small ships, big experiences
Oceania Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Azamara sail smaller ships with a relaxed pace, standout food and more time ashore. Many of their itineraries pair the Canaries with Madeira, Morocco or mainland Spain and Portugal. Regent’s fares include almost everything, from drinks to shore excursions.

Sail, fly or start in the sun
Some Canary Islands cruises sail from the UK, some are fly-cruise holidays with flights included, and others start in ports in Spain, Portugal or the islands themselves. Use the filters to find the cruise line, departure port and dates that suit you, then book online 24/7.
