Voyage Itinerary

16 January

Setting sail from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Said to have the world's most perfect climate, cosmopolitan Las Palmas is the capital of Gran Canaria and the largest city in the Canary Islands. The charming old quarter, La Vegueta, is where you'll find the city's most interesting colonial architecture, while beach fans should head for lovely Playa de las Canteras.

Canary Islands: Puerto de la Estaca (El Hierro)

Remote, rugged and barely touched by tourism, El Hierro is the smallest of the Canary Islands. The island has been designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and the small population is entirely sustained by renewable energy. Highlights include dramatic volcanic landscapes, sleepy mountain villages and some fantastic dive sites.

Canary Islands: Los Cristianos

Once just a sleepy fishing port on the southwest coast of Tenerife, Los Cristianos is now a buzzing resort town that rubs up against the high-rise hotels and lively bars of Playa de las Americas. Enjoy a day at the beach, a round of golf, watersports galore or a trip into the quieter island interior.

19 January

Canary Islands: Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Situated on Tenerife’s north eastern shore, the island’s capital is a busy port that serves mostly as a gateway to the popular south west coast and the spectacular volcanic landscapes of the island’s interior.

20 January

Canary Islands: Santa Cruz de La Palma

The lush volcanic island of La Palma is one of the Canary Islands’ best kept secrets, a place where tourism is still low key and the beautiful scenery is unspoilt by high rise developments. Don’t miss the colourful colonial architecture of the capital, Santa Cruz, reminiscent of the Spanish Caribbean.

21 January to 22 January

Portugal: Funchal

Funchal, Madeira’s bustling capital, tumbles down a dramatic hillside towards a beautiful sweeping bay. Highlights include colourful markets, wine lodges and the spectacular cable car ride up to the village of Monte, home of the famous toboggan run.

Morocco: Safi

The Atlantic port of Safi is one of Morocco’s lesser known tourist destinations, but offers plenty of interesting sights, including the imposing Kechla citadel and the Dar al Bahar fortress, both of which were constructed by the Portuguese in the 16th century.

25 January

Arriving in Casablanca

Bustling and modern, fizzing with industry and commerce, Casablanca is often overlooked in favour of Morocco’s better known tourist draws. But then this is part of its appeal: it’s an authentic and unvarnished city, and it’s also home to the spectacular modernist architecture of the Hassan II Mosque.
