Habitues à organiser nos petits voyages, nous avons choisi cette fois de demander à Vialala de nous préparer un séjour à Barcelone avec notre petit fils: Tout fut parfait, le choix de l'appartement et sa localisation dans la vieille ville et l';organisation de nos journées correspondant à ce que nous voulions voir et faire. Un grand merci à l'équipe de Vialala à qui je demanderai de m'organiser mes prochains voyages.

Why choose Tenerife as a starting point for a cruise?

Tenerife occupies a remarkable geographic position off the African coast, about 300 kilometers from Morocco. This makes it one of the most popular bases for boarding towards the Canary Islands and beyond. The port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, located less than 2 kilometers from the city center, welcomes thousands of travelers each year in search of sun, discovery and a maritime escape.

The island's capital captivates upon arrival. The Plaza de España, the Auditorio de Tenerife with its white wave-shaped silhouette, or the colorful streets of the historic district invite you to extend the stay. But Tenerife is also a spectacular hinterland dominated by Mount Teide, a volcano reaching 3,718 meters and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Another major advantage: the climate. Tenerife enjoys a nearly constant mildness, with temperatures ranging from 18 °C in winter to 28 °C in summer. Here is an overview of the best periods to embark from the island:

Period Average temperatures Sunshine Ideal for
November to February 18-22 °C 6 to 7 h/day Escape European winter
March to May 20-24 °C 7 to 8 h/day Family cruises
June to September 24-28 °C 9 to 10 h/day Swimming and lounging
October 22-26 °C 7 to 8 h/day Mild weather and light crowds

Thanks to this favorable climate, a cruise to Tenerife can be planned almost year-round, offering great flexibility in organizing your trip.

What cruise itineraries can be done from Tenerife?

Departing from Tenerife opens the door to a multitude of sea routes, depending on your wishes and the duration of your stay. Cruises departing from Santa Cruz de Tenerife allow you to explore both the Canary Islands archipelago as well as the African coasts or the island of Madeira.

Explore the Canary Islands archipelago island by island

The Canary Islands form a group of seven islands with distinct characters, and cruises with family or friends suit them particularly well. A circuit of 7 to 8 days generally allows visiting several of them:

  • Las Palmas, on Gran Canaria, with its fine-sand beaches and Vegueta historic district;
  • Lanzarote and its lunar landscapes shaped by the volcanic eruptions of Timanfaya National Park;
  • Fuerteventura, renowned for its vast dunes and turquoise waters;
  • La Gomera, covered with laurisilva forests listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site;
  • La Palma, nicknamed \"the green island\", with its rugged cliffs and exceptional starry sky.

Each port of call offers its own identity, and it is precisely this contrast that makes this type of itinerary so captivating.

Set course for Madeira and Morocco

For those who want to go further, cruises from Tenerife also allow reaching Funchal, the capital of Madeira, perched on the heights of a verdant island about 1 400 kilometers to the north. Another possible destination: Agadir or Casablanca, in Morocco, for an immersion into the flavors and colors of North Africa. These itineraries, often offered over 8 to 10 days, combine total novelty and cultural diversity.

What experiences to live on a Tenerife cruise?

A Tenerife cruise isn't just about crossing between two ports. It's also a chance to experience unique experiences, aboard and ashore.

From the port of Santa Cruz, many excursions allow you to discover the island in depth. The visit to Teide National Park remains essential: you reach it by a cable car that climbs up to 3,555 meters above sea level, offering a breathtaking view of the archipelago. Down below, the town of Puerto de la Cruz and the Orotava Valley entice with their colonial architecture and lush botanical gardens.

Off the southern coast of the island, between Los Gigantes and Costa Adeje, the Canary waters host exceptional marine fauna. Catamaran or sailing trips allow you to observe dolphins and pilot whales in their natural habitat, an experience especially appreciated on family cruises. These outings usually last between 2 and 3 hours and depart from the ports of Los Cristianos or Puerto Colón.

On board, comfort and services vary by company, but most cruises include full board, with meals served in several dining spaces. Some packages also offer entertainment, thematic lectures about the visited islands, or gala evenings that pleasantly punctuate the crossing.

How to organize your Tenerife cruise with Vialala?

Organizing a Tenerife cruise requires juggling many parameters: choosing the itinerary, the duration of the stay, the priority ports of call, the activities to plan ashore and the type of accommodation aboard. This is where the guidance of an expert makes all the difference.

At Vialala, our Travel Planners know the Canaries down to the last detail. They help you build a trip that truly reflects you, taking into account your desires, your pace and your budget. Do you want to combine a few days in Tenerife before boarding to explore Santa Cruz or climb Teide? Would you prefer to extend your stay in Las Palmas after the cruise? Everything is possible, and this is precisely what we love to build with you.

Whether you are traveling as a couple, with friends or for family cruises, our advisors offer personalized solutions, far from standardized offers. Every detail is designed so you can enjoy each port of call to the fullest, without worrying about logistics.

FAQ Tenerife

What is the ideal duration for a Tenerife and Canary Islands cruise?

A Tenerife cruise typically lasts between 7 and 10 days for a full itinerary in the Canary Islands. This duration allows visiting four to six islands at a comfortable pace, with one to two port calls per day. For a circuit including Madeira or Morocco, count on 10 to 12 days to fully enjoy each destination.

How to reach Santa Cruz de Tenerife port from the airport?

Tenerife has two airports. From Tenerife North, located about 12 kilometers from the port, the taxi ride lasts about twenty minutes. From Tenerife South, at 63 kilometers, plan about 55 minutes by car or shuttle. Regular bus links also ensure connections between the two airports, the port and the Plaza de España bus station.

Is a cruise to Tenerife suitable for children?

Yes, a cruise to Tenerife is very suitable for families with children. The itineraries in the Canary Islands offer varied and accessible stops, outdoor activities such as whale watching, and beaches ideal for the youngest. Aboard, most ships offer children's clubs from age 3 and activities suitable for all ages.
