Canary Islands cruise ports

The Canary Islands are a Spanish Atlantic archipelago off the coast of Africa. Individual islands have their own landscapes, towns and port arrangements, so a general island name is only the beginning of a useful plan. Find the exact call below and read its arrival section before deciding between a town visit and an excursion beyond the waterfront. Think about the return journey as well as the outward trip, especially when an outing crosses much of an island. Regional overview pages provide context, while individual guides carry the practical details.
