Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Funchal
Depart 19:00
Funchal — Madeira's radiant capital, its name derived from the wild fennel that greeted Portuguese settlers in 1419 — cascades down volcanic hillsides to a deep-water harbour that has welcomed mariners and wanderers for six centuries. The Reid's Palace, opened in 1891, remains one of the Atlantic's most legendary hotels, its clifftop terraces commanding views that inspired Churchill, Shaw, and a century of distinguished guests. The city's floating flower market, levada walks through ancient laurisilva forest, and the exhilarating toboggan descent from Monte combine for days of effortless discovery. The subtropical climate makes Funchal appealing year-round, with spring particularly spectacular for wildflowers.

Day 3
Safi
Arrive 06:00Depart 19:00
Safi is Morocco's pottery capital and largest sardine port, where Portuguese fortresses overlook a working medina and centuries-old ceramic workshops continue their craft on the Potters' Hill. Visitors should watch master potters at work, explore the Kechla fortress and seaside Dar el Bahar castle, and feast on freshly grilled sardines by the Atlantic. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable temperatures for exploring this authentic, untouristed Moroccan coastal city.
Day 4
Day 4
Agadir
Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00
Agadir is southern Morocco's premier coastal resort, rebuilt after a devastating 1960 earthquake into a modern city framed by a magnificent six-kilometer beach and the Atlas Mountains. Feast on just-caught sardines grilled at the harbor, shop for argan oil at the vast Souk El Had, and day-trip to the palm-shaded swimming pools of Paradise Valley. October through April provides ideal temperatures, with Azamara, Costa, and Viking calling at the commercial port.
Day 5
Day 5
Arrecife
Arrive 13:00Depart 19:00
Arrecife, the unpretentious capital of Lanzarote in Spain's Canary Islands, serves as the gateway to one of the volcanic world's most surreal and spellbinding landscapes — shaped by César Manrique, the visionary artist who ensured there are no high-rises, no billboards, and no compromise between tourism and the island's extraordinary terrain. The Timanfaya National Park's lava fields, the underground lake of the Jameos del Agua, and Manrique's own clifftop home-turned-museum are among the most singular attractions in all of Spain. The Canary Islands enjoy a year-round temperate climate, making any month suitable for a visit. Gran Canaria lies forty minutes by ferry.
Day 7
Day 7
Santa Cruz de la Palma
Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00
Santa Cruz de la Palma is the charming capital of La Palma, known for its colonial architecture and rich maritime history. Must-do experiences include savoring local dishes like "papas arrugadas" and exploring the stunning landscapes of Taburiente National Park. The best time to visit is during the spring and fall months when the weather is mild and perfect for outdoor adventures.
