Windstar Cruises Hike a volcano, then a forest from another age

Windstar Cruises Hike a volcano, then a forest from another age. On Lanzarote, you wake to a moonscape. In the Protected Natural Landscape of la Geria, malvasía grape vines grow in funnels of black volcanic ash. Further inland, Timanfaya's petrified lava fields run toward geysers that still bring heat to the surface.

Newly enhanced during our Setting Sails refresh, our 148-guest sailing yacht, Wind Spirit, is cruising the Canaries and Madeira this November through February.

The season includes round-trip voyages from Santa Cruz de Tenerife and point-to-point sailings from Lisbon, reaching western islands like El Hierro and Porto Santo that larger ships rarely touch.

The Many Worlds of the Canaries

 

On Lanzarote, you wake to a moonscape. In the Protected Natural Landscape of la Geria, malvasía grape vines grow in funnels of black volcanic ash. Further inland, Timanfaya's petrified lava fields run toward geysers that still bring heat to the surface.

The western islands are greener. On La Gomera, Garajonay National Park shelters a UNESCO laurel cloud forest barely changed in millions of years. After dark on La Palma, you’re beneath a certified Starlight Reserve, with the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory high on the ridge and one of the starriest skies in the world overhead.

And then there's Funchal in Madeira, wholly Portuguese, with fortified wine lodges along the harbor and wicker toboggan rides down from the hilltop village of Monte.

That’s the wonder of the Canary Islands: close together on the map, yet each one a different world. Join us and experience these worlds under sail aboard our 148-guest sailing yacht, Wind Spirit.
