This unique journey features the stunning natural beauty of the Canary Islands and Madeira. Board the deluxe M.S. Le Diamant in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, and cruise to the Andalusian port of Málaga, Spain. Admire the Spanish-colonial architecture and dramatic scenery of the islands of Tenerife and La Palma, formed millions of years ago through the activity of submarine volcanoes. In Madeira, taste the island’s full-bodied namesake wine and view the stunning cliffs of Cabo Girao. Then it’s on to Portugal’s historic province of Algarve and to the imposing Rock of Gibraltar. Also available are a Madrid preprogram option and a Granada and Seville post-program option.
