Spain and Portugal-A panoramic view of the red rooftops of Funchal during the Atlantic Islands Explorer cruise.

Escaping the winter chill has never been more straightforward than with our Atlantic Islands Explorer cruise. This 7-night all-inclusive cruise holiday is perfectly organised to take you through the stunning scenery of Madeira and the Canary Islands. Sailing from Gran Canaria, you will enjoy the reliable comfort of the Marella Discovery 2, a vessel known for its excellent service and wide range of facilities. This itinerary is designed for value-conscious travellers who want a complete package, including return flights from Dublin, all transfers, and a generous 20kg baggage allowance.

The Atlantic Islands Explorer takes you to the heart of Funchal, where red-roofed houses meet botanical beauty, and to the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote. With an all-inclusive drinks package and gratuities already covered in the price, you won’t have to worry about extra costs adding up while you are on board. On the ship, you can dine in seven different restaurants, catch a Broadway-style show in the lounge, or simply relax by one of the two pools. For those feeling active, the rock-climbing wall and mini-golf course offer plenty of fun at sea.

From the cobbled streets of Santa Cruz de La Palma to the grand avenues of Tenerife, this cruise provides a wonderful balance of culture and relaxation. Every detail is handled by our team, ensuring your transfers between the airport and the port are seamless. Whether you are admiring the 589-metre cliffs at Cabo Girão or exploring the naval history of the islands, this holiday offers great value for those looking to see multiple destinations without the hassle of constantly packing and unpacking. Join us for a factual and friendly journey through some of the Atlantic’s most welcoming ports of call.
