Alexander von Humboldt II:
Las Palmas de Cran Canaria (ES) - Santa Cruz de Tenerife (ES)

05 March - 15 March 2016

Winter voyage around the Canari Islands – Sail along on this beautiful classic sailing ship along the Canaries! A week sailing in warm waters, and perhaps with a stop somewhere we have not been before. Sailing, swimming, roundtour at one of the iles with nice Spanish food and fruits, at sea dolphins and at land a nice icecream. Each day will be different! Open to all ages, minimum age 14 years.

Ports

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the shared capital of the Canary Islands, together with Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The central square Plaza de España is a real eye-catcher, situated between the ocean and the old, bustling city centre. Lose yourself in the crowded alleys, find a spot on one of the terraces, or leave town and discover the rugged volcanic landscape. The museum of Nature and Man is worth a visit. Chances are you’ll find pilot whales in the waters around Tenerife, so keep an eye out!
