MSC Cruises to Offer a New Canary Islands Itinerary

Funchal is famed for its picturesque bay, charming historic streets, renowned Madeira wine and world-class botanical gardens.
 
 
MSC Cruises will be offering a new itinerary from the Spanish Canary Islands for winter 2024-2025, with sailings now available for booking.

MSC Opera will operate 7-night itineraries with six ports of call between Nov. 3, 2024 and March 16, 2025.

The ship will depart Santa Cruz de Tenerife in Tenerife for Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, Puerto del Rosario in Fuerteventura, Funchal in Madeira, Santa Cruz de la Palma in La Palma and Arrecife in Lanzarote before returning to Tenerife.

The new itinerary also offers flexible embarkation options, including Santa Cruz de Tenerife on Sundays, Las Palmas on Mondays, Madeira for Funchal on Thursdays or Fridays and Arrecife on Saturdays.

MSC Opera Guests Will Enjoy Cultural Immersion in the Canaries

MSC Opera will visit a range of islands in the Canaries, the Portuguese island of Madeira, and Morocco in North Africa. Guests will be able to immerse themselves in each destination’s unique culture, striking landscapes and captivating attractions, while taking advantage of a warm and relaxing climate, perfect for sightseeing and soaking up sun during the winter months.
Las Palmas, the capital city of Gran Canaria.

The itinerary will visit San Sebastian de la Gomera, La Gomera; Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Tenerife; Funchal, Madeira; Agadir, Morocco; and Arrecife, Lanzarote before returning to Las Palmas.

The Canary Islands are easily accessible with regular international flights to Gran Canaria and Tenerife. The itinerary replaces MSC Opera’s previously planned winter 2024-2025 season in the Red Sea, which was cancelled in light of the current risk to shipping in that region.
MSC Opera offers a variety of dining options featuring Mediterranean and international cuisine, the exciting Med Pearl Casino, performances at the Teatro dell’Opera and dedicated play areas for kids and teens.
