5 best TUI Canary Islands cruises in December 2022

Canary Islands cruises offer the salvation sun-starved, shivering Brits need come the colder months and, fortunately, TUI cruise line Marella Cruises has some brilliant ones still up for grabs.

TUI Canary Islands cruises are taking place throughout the month of December 2022 so no need to sit freezing at home in the UK this winter!

Marella Cruises holidays to the Canary Islands are all seven nights-long and all-inclusive. That means your flights, transfers, all food and drinks, tips and entertainment are all included!

What’s more these fabulous cruises call at a glut of islands in the Canaries so you really get a feel of this Spanish archipelago off the coast of Africa.

In Las Palmas on Gran Canaria you can visit Casa de Colón on your Canary Islands cruise. The former governor’s house is now a museum dedicated to 15th-century explorer Christopher Columbus who once visited here.

Over on Lanzarote, there are multiple creations by famous Spanish artist and sculptor César Manrique (he was born here) as well as castles, an art gallery and a saltwater lagoon in the port capital of Arrecife where cruises to the Canary Islands call.

Meanwhile, Santa Cruz de Tenerife on Tenerife boasts historical buildings, top-notch architecture, open-air shopping areas, avenues and parks all perfect for stretching those sea legs.

Marella Cruises also sail to the smaller islands of La Palma and La Gomera. The former is home to a UNESCO World Heritage Biosphere Reserve, complete with a volcanic crater, Caldera de Taburiente, and a colourful waterfall.

La Gomera is the second smallest island in the Canaries. Ancient forests thrive here amid volcanic mountains so the hiking is excellent while small black-sand beaches stud the coastline.

As an added bonus, these TUI Canary Island cruises also take in the island of Madeira (below, right), which is Portuguese rather than Spanish (so prepare yourself for a lingo switch!). Marella Cruises stop at Funchal where visitors can admire rolling hills, splendid mountain vistas and renowned wineries.

Whether you fancy a pre-Christmas getaway, a holiday over the festive period or a trip to ring in 2023, Marella’s Canary Island cruises 2022 have something for you. We’ve rounded up five brilliant cruises for you to choose from…
