Madeira, the ‘flower island’. In front of it, the wide-open Central Atlantic. Tenerife, the volcanic ‘island of eternal spring’. Six extraordinary days full of natural impressions are on the sailing schedule. Count nautical miles, simply admire the nature of the sea, perhaps climb the mast from time to time and enjoy the view – on an Atlantic voyage on a tall ship, you will be ‘boundlessly happy’. Days and nights on the endless expanse of the ocean without stopping at port – this is the luxury class of doing nothing and a wonderful time to relax and experience the unique blend of tradition and comfort.

On course to the Canary Islands! From Madeira to Tenerife
Trip information
This is where you board
During your stay in Madeira, you can expect to find a variety of impressive sights with a maritime flair. The central point of interest is the picturesque harbour of Funchal, which is not only the starting point for cruises, but also for whale and dolphin watching tours. Stroll along the ‘Avenida do Mar’ promenade and enjoy the atmosphere of the numerous cafés with sea views. In the Museu de História Natural do Funchal, you can discover the fascinating underwater world of Madeira. The Cristiano Ronaldo Museum, located directly at the harbour, is also worth a visit. Take a trip to the Mercado dos Lavradores, where freshly caught fish is on offer. The highlight of any city tour is a ride on the cable car over Funchal – the view of the coast will inspire you.

Impressions
This is where you disembark
The largest of the Canary Islands is often referred to as the ‘island of eternal spring’ because of its incomparable climate. Its secret lies in its combination of scenic and cultural diversity. The striking contrasts between young volcanic areas, mountain landscapes, ancient laurel forests, bizarre rock gorges and beaches are already apparent as you approach from the sea. Spain's highest mountain, Pico del Teide, towers above it all. Make the most of your stay by strolling along the boulevards (‘Ramblas’) in the vibrant capital Santa Cruz and taking a detour to the tropical city park. If you want to spend a few days on the island, it is worth taking a trip to the old wine-trading town of La Orotava or the mountain regions of the Anaga and Teno ranges.
