Sales are open for the new cruises, which will operate from 3 November 2024 to 16 March 2025 and take in six ports of call – Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Puerto del Rosario, Funchal, Santa Cruz de la Palma and Arrecife.


The line is also offering flexible embarkation options, with cruises calling in Tenerife on Sundays, Gran Canaria on Mondays, Madeira on Thursdays or Fridays, and Lanzarote on Saturdays.


Stops will last for up to 16 hours, giving guests time to explore each port of call.
