Las Palmas, Gran Canaria
Arrive in Las Palmas, the capital of Gran Canaria. Explore the impressive Santa Ana Cathedral, Plaza de Santa Ana, Palacio Regental, and the Bishop's Palace in Vegueta - the oldest part of the city. Spend the day sunbathing on Playa de Las Canteras, regarded as one of the world's best beaches, or relish live Canarian folk music and dancing at Pueblo Canario. Relax in the idyllic surroundings of Parque Doramas or enjoy a leisurely coffee on Plaza Cairasco. Discover national treasures dating back to Roman times at El Museo Canario. Admire the indigenous flora and fauna at the Jardin Botanico Viera y Clavijo, travel to the famous Maspalomas dunes, or join a trek to the Bandama Caldera.

Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura
The busy port of Puerto del Rosario is Fuerteventura’s capital and is known for its whitewashed houses and open-air artworks. Explore and admire the outdoor sculpture park packed full of mural paintings and more than 50 pieces of art scattered across the city. Adventurers challenge their loved ones to a lap around the tracks at Fuerteventura Karting Club. Shopping lovers retreat to Centro Comercial Las Rotondas and indulge in some retail therapy in the local and popular high street shops. Dine in true Spanish style overlooking the ocean with paella at El Cangrejo Colorao. Head to Playa Chica beach to try your hand at snorkelling, or simply soak up the sun on the sand. End the day with some salsa and Latin dancing or listening to a resident band at Mamba Rumba.
4
Arrecife, Lanzarote
Today the ship drops anchor at Arrecife, the capital of the Canarian island of Lanzarote. Two splendid castles form the backdrop to the harbour - the 15th-century Castillo San Gabriel and 17th-century Castillo San Jose. Meander through the Old Quarter and admire the 17th-century San Ginés Church with its bell tower and Mudéjar-style ceiling. Indulge in retail therapy at Centro Comercial Marina Lanzarote before relaxing with a lunch of paella or fresh fish overlooking Charco San Ginés. The beautiful golden sands of Playa de Reducto are the perfect place to spend a few hours sunbathing. Venture inland to explore the lunar landscapes of Timanfaya National Park's fire mountains and Cesar Manrique's unique Jardin de Cactus on the outskirts of Guatiza and Jameos Del Agua cave.
5-6
Funchal, Madeira
It is very easy to see why Madeira has gained the name of 'The Garden Island'. Lush greenery with an array of tropical fruits, this island is a favourite on many cruise itineraries. Take gondola ride to the mountain village of Monte to experience some of the most breathtaking views of the island, then take the thrilling way down on a local toboggan, winding and bending over the cobbles; this is something you won’t want to miss. For wine lovers, venture out into the vineyards and experience some of the famous wine of the region.
