Canary Islands Cruises

LOCATION
Canary Islands of Spain consist of an archipelago made up of 7 "big islands" and 6 islets in the Atlantic Ocean. The nearest island is 108 km off the northwest African mainland.


ABOUT CANARY ISLANDS
Canary Islands offer some of the best beaches that constitute an easy escape from a snowy European winter. Water sports are the primary recreational activity in these beautiful islands where one can windsurf, scuba dive, and surf to heart's content.
