At Hello Cruise, we bring together the best Canary Islands cruises, expert advice, and unbeatable deals to help you plan your perfect escape.
Canary Islands Cruise Itineraries
Most Canary Islands cruises are 7 to 14-night round trips, often departing directly from Southampton – a convenient no-fly option for UK travellers. Longer itineraries may also include ports in mainland Spain or Portugal. Each cruise takes you on a sun-drenched journey across the islands, with popular stops including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma and Fuerteventura. Depending on the route and cruise line, you may also visit Madeira or even Morocco. Consider a Cruise to the Canary Islands that visits multiple countries along the way before finishing at Canary Island ports, offering a different experience from a standard Canary Islands cruise.

With both no-fly cruises from the UK and fly-cruise options, it’s easy to find an itinerary that suits your schedule. Expect mild winter temps around 20-24°C and hotter summers. Pack for warm weather, but bring comfortable shoes for exploring volcanic landscapes like Tenerife’s Mount Teide or Lanzarote’s Timanfaya National Park. Excursions can book up quickly, especially to popular natural sites, so it’s smart to plan ahead. These cruises are ideal for first-time cruisers too – the waters are generally calm, the islands are easy to explore, and there’s a great mix of beach time, culture and scenery.
