Where Volcanic Landscapes Meet Sandy Beaches
Lanzarote, described as lunar and Martian due to its volcanic shaping, is an incredibly unique location. It’s also the fourth largest among the Canary Islands! The island’s lava fields and rugged landscapes offer a surreal display of colours that’s quite unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Whilst here, it’s a quintessential experience to visit the monolithic mountains to see hot lava spewing out and relax on its famous black sandy beaches. And if it’s white sand you’re after, head to Playa de Papagayo – the southern beach is surrounded by a pristine nature reserve with its crystal-clear and turquoise water making the beach so postcard-perfect!
The Mediterranean cruise to Lanzarote docks at Arrecife, the island’s capital and main port with breathtaking sights well worth exploring – from the old-world architecture in the historic quarter and magnificent castles to the natural beauty of the palm-fringed, golden sand beaches. You’ll easily reach the Timanfaya National Park from the port city – home to the dormant “Mountains of Fire” and the famous El Diablo restaurant. Get ready for an extraordinary adventure into Lanzarote’s impressive lava tubes, such as the underground Cueva de los Verdes, which allows travellers to get a glimpse of the hidden treasures of the underworld, and Jameos del Agua, a wonderfully curated lava tube turned into a beautiful oasis by the local artist César Manrique. Discover more of the awe-inspiring wonders of this gem in on a Lanazarote cruise!
