A Classic Christmas Cruise to warmer climes

Look forward to this fabulous Christmas & New Year cruise aboard Marco Polo, voyaging south to the warmer climes of the Canary Islands. Three of these contrasting islands are included in this truly wonderful itinerary, offering a variety of picturesque landscapes and new experiences to savour. En route, there is also the opportunity to visit Gibraltar, Portugal’s historic town of Oporto, and beautifully tranquil Madeira.

Relax and get to know Marco Polo and your fellow passengers. Then, celebrate a sparkling Christmas Day on board including a traditional Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings and a wonderful programme of activities and entertainment. Step ashore in Gibraltar to discover its fascinating history and military heritage before reaching Lanzarote, a volcanic island of extraordinary moon-like landscapes best viewed from the slopes of Fire Mountain. Dominated by Mount Teide, the highest mountain in Spain, Tenerife is the largest of the Canaries. In Santa Cruz, perhaps choose to visit the delightful tropical gardens and aquarium at Loro Parque.

Next stop is La Gomera, Christopher Columbus’ last port of call before crossing the Atlantic in 1492.  Here nature has created beautiful forests, lush vegetation and dramatic ravines. With its pretty white painted houses and beautiful scenery, the island of Madeira will delight you and this evening is spent back on board seeing in the New Year in style. Finally you call at Leixoes, gateway to Oporto on the banks of the Douro River and home of the famous Port wine. 

Relax at sea and continue to enjoy the stylish entertainment programme and on board facilities on your return to Tilbury at the end of a fabulous Christmas & New Year celebration!
