Canary Islands & Madeira-A panoramic view of Funchal bay in Madeira during a Winter Canary Islands Madeira cruise.

Escape the winter chill with a dream 7-night Winter Canary Islands Madeira cruise holiday. Departing directly from Dublin with Aer Lingus, this cruise takes you on a voyage through the sun-drenched islands of the Atlantic. Your base for this journey is the MSC Fantasia, a ship designed with Italian elegance and modern comforts. Travellers can enjoy a unique environment featuring Swarovski crystal stairs, a stone piazza for morning coffee, and a transparent ceiling that allows for starlit evening views.

Your itinerary is perfectly organised to showcase the diversity of the Macaronesian islands. Beginning in Tenerife, you will sail to Fuerteventura, a destination loved for its vast sandy beaches and pleasant climate. The journey then takes you to the garden island of Madeira. In Funchal, you will find a bay framed by dramatic mountains and historic churches, offering a range of shore excursions from botanical gardens to cable car rides with panoramic views.

As the Winter Canary Islands Madeira cruise continues, you will witness the striking volcanic terrain of Lanzarote. Here, the landscape feels other-worldly, with canyons and lava formations creating a sharp contrast against the Atlantic blue. You will also visit Gran Canaria, where the historic district of Vegueta offers a glimpse into five centuries of architecture.

On board, everything is catered for to provide a high-value experience. This cruise holiday includes fine dining on a full board basis, onboard gratuities, and even hot drinks with your meals. For those looking to further enhance their time at sea, the Aurea Spa provides a range of treatments, while various swimming pools and a cinema offer plenty of entertainment options. With direct flights, transfers, and luggage all included, this is a straightforward and relaxing way to see the best of the Canary Islands and Madeira this winter.
