Day 1 - Gran Canaria

Arrive: Sat 25 November 2017 / Depart: Sat 25 November 2017 at 17:00

This sub-tropical oasis is the ideal place to relax. With its tranquil beaches of volcanic sand, you'll find it remarkably easy to let the time just slip away. Year-round sunshine and the option to visit the main resort area of Playa del Ingles on the south coast or the quieter Veguetta make Las Palmas the ideal destination, whatever your frame of mind. In Veguetta, the Christopher Columbus Museum provides an interesting diversion, while above the city the Bandama Crater reveals the island's volcanic past. With tranquil beaches of volcanic sand, you can combine a leisurely stroll to view the Portuguese-influenced architecture with a few hour's sunbathing to take it all in.

Day 2 - La Palma

Arrive: Sun 26 November 2017 at 08:00 / Depart: Sun 26 November 2017 at 17:00

Forget its size. For a small island, La Palma boasts lots to do and more than its share of sights to see, including the largest volcanic crater in the world. Peaceful and tranquil, dozens of traditional old wooden houses with balustraded balconies lining the streets, Santa Cruz de la Palma is a typical Canarian town. All of which makes it the perfect place to stroll and relax. Look out in particular for the asone republica of Columbus' ship, the Santa Maria, opposite the seafront, and the beautiful Basilica of Our Lady of the Snows. And if there's time, take a trip to La Caldera. 9km wide and 28km around its edge, it will change your view of volcanoes because the vast crater is now filled with fragrant Canary pines.

Day 3 - Funchal

Arrive: Mon 27 November 2017 / Depart: Mon 27 November 2017

Madeira is more than sweet wine. It's an excuse to enjoy fine beaches, explore beautiful gardens and discover why Funchal is called the Pearl of the Ocean. Whether you want to enjoy a relaxing stroll along the promenade, visit the traditional and colourful flower market in the centre of Funchal, or taste the lovely wine that takes the island's name, Madeira has it all and more. Rising from the sea to the mountainside, the capital, Funchal, is a gardener's paradise with Birds of Paradise flowers, banana plantations, farms and vineyards everywhere. If you go shopping, don't miss the Se, the famous 16th century cathedral. If you have time visit Camacha, east of Funchal, known as the centre of Madeira's willow craft, and the hillside town of Monte which you can reach via a breathtaking cable car ride.

Day 4 - At Sea

Day 5 - Agadir

Arrive: Wed 29 November 2017 at 08:00 / Depart: Wed 29 November 2017 at 17:00

Get ready for a blend of old and new, local and Western. Agadir has all the appearance of a European resort with the added attraction of a distinct Moroccan flavour. Modern yet unmistakable Moroccan, Agadir has a fantastic climate. Whilst here, don't miss the chance to visit the Agadir Grand Souk, the largest covered market in the area. This is the place to find everything from gold, silver and spices to leather jackets and lampshades – and barter for Berber and Tuareg souvenirs.

Day 6 - Lanzarote

Arrive: Thu 30 November 2017 at 07:00 / Depart: Thu 30 November 2017 at 17:00

With the added attraction of a lunar landscape nearby created by volcanic activity, the capital of Lanzarote is an alluring destination to explore, experience and enjoy. From the stunning scenery of the Timanfaya (Fire Mountain) National Park to delightful beaches and quaint whitewashed houses with luminescent green shutters, Arrecife offers something for every visitor. After marvelling at the magnificent array of purple, blue and orange colours in the park, you can sample a dish in the restaurant where the meat is barbecued over the heat of the volcanic crater that gave the park its name. Back in the town of Puerto Naos, the Castillo San Jose overlooking the harbour features a modern art collection and another restaurant looking out over sea, not to mention a shopping centre to browse through.

Day 7 - Tenerife

Arrive: Fri 01 December 2017 at 07:00 / Depart: Fri 01 December 2017

The first sight of Santa Cruz says it all. Towering above the town is snow-capped Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. So bring your jacket as well as your beach towel. Sand or snow, beaches or mountains, lush green banana plantations or busy shops. Santa Cruz gives you lots of different worlds in one place. Go to the top of Mount Teide to discover that it was once a volcano. Visit Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz to discover the world's premier parrot breeding facility as well as gardens, a dolphinarium and aquarium and the new Planet Penguin which features penguins in their natural environment. Or stay in the busy shopping district of Santa Cruz itself and look out for treasures carved from iridescent volcanic rock, Spanish leather shoes and bags, or bargains in the traditional flea market along the seafront.

Day 8 - Gran Canaria

Arrive: Sat 02 December 2017 at 07:00 / Depart: Sat 02 December 2017

This sub-tropical oasis is the ideal place to relax. With its tranquil beaches of volcanic sand, you'll find it remarkably easy to let the time just slip away.
