Lanzarote captivates with its uniquely alien and consistently breathtaking natural beauty. The landscape is shaped by volcanoes and lava fields, featuring rocks with improbable formations perched on balanced outposts, while black sand beaches vie for attention against traditional palm-lined coasts. As a UNESCO Geopark, the island is a captivating destination that mesmerises all who visit its volcanic shores.

The Ventura will dock in Arrecife, the island's capital, providing you with a full day to immerse yourself in its sun-drenched plazas, trendy bars, and atmospheric backstreets. For a dose of local culture, explore the Museo Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo, showcasing numerous works by César Manrique, the island's influential artist.

Blessed with 3,000 hours of sunshine annually, Fuerteventura stands as an ideal destination to bask in the sun and achieve that perfect tan, particularly with its outstanding beaches. The combination of trade winds and Atlantic Ocean swells creates an ideal environment for water-sports enthusiasts, attracting them to the island throughout the year. Similar to its neighbouring islands, Fuerteventura possesses a rugged charm evident in its bays and volcanic slopes, characteristic of the Canary Islands. However, in contrast to the more bustling islands like Tenerife and Lanzarote, Fuerteventura has successfully sidestepped excessive development, preserving a sense of tranquility and stark beauty.

The tranquil harbour, verdant palm groves and excellent climate of Gran Canaria's lively capital Las Palmas delighted Christopher Columbus when he discovered it on his famous voyage of 1492. Those same attractions now draw modern travellers keen to explore the atmospheric cobbled streets and leafy courtyards of its old quarter, Vegueta.

Today you'll discover the largest of the Canary Islands—Tenerife, a haven with one of the world's most varied landscapes. From lush valleys and vibrant plantations to stunning beaches and the otherworldly Mount Teide National Park, Tenerife captivates with its natural wonders. Docking in Santa Cruz, the evolved cruise port turned splendid city, you'll encounter sophisticated bars, diverse restaurants, eclectic shops, fine architecture, and captivating museums. Immerse yourself in Tenerife's diverse charm, where every moment promises the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

Today you will make port at your final exciting destination. Cruise visitors will discover that the market town of Madeira is easily walkable with the port located right by the town, although, the further inland you explore, the steeper and narrower some of the streets become. Locally made wicker furniture, lacework and tapestries all make good buys, along with the ubiquitous Madeira wine. Funchal is also the base for escorted tours run directly with P&O if you would like to explore further inland.

Back onboard! After visiting five wonderful ports around the Canary Islands and Portugal, you've earned a relaxing day at sea! Relax with a pint in Brodie's Pub, the onboard British pub - or listen to the delightful ambience in the atrium with live pianist - or make a splash in the pool!
