More about your cruise*

Offering up the holiday favourites of sun, sea and sand, this cruise takes you to some of the Atlantic's most spectacular coasts.

After departing from Tenerife, you'll head to neighbouring Gran Canaria where you'll be greeted by rugged mountains and over-sized sand dunes.

Next up is little La Palma - the Canaries' best-kept secret. All whitewashed houses and colonial mansions, it's managed to stay almost entirely off the tourist radar.

On day three you'll head north to Madeira for a fill of botanical gardens, quaint museums and buzzing cafeacute;s and restaurants. And don't forget to save time for an obligatory visit to a wine lodge to learn Madeira's age-old wine-making secrets.

Africa is next on the agenda, as you move on to Morocco's premier coastal town, Agadir. Here, you'll step into a magical world of souks, spices and snake-charmers. For souvenirs with a difference, make a beeline for the Grand Souk, where you'll be able to pick up everything from hand-woven rugs to shiny silver trinkets.

Agadir scores top marks when it comes to beaches, too - it's got a whopping nine kilometres worth of glittering sands.

You'll round things off with a trip back to the Canary Islands, this time to Lanzarote. Crammed full of beaches and dormant volcanoes, its other worldly lunar landscape draws visitors back year after year.
