Scattered 70 miles off the coast of Africa, the Canaries offer a seductive fusion of the colourful culture of Spain, blended with dazzling Atlantic beaches and rugged scenery.
Fred. Olsen‘s historic link with the Canaries means that you will be assured a warm welcome and with the hint of European sophistication combined with a superb African climate, what could be better for your first or umpteenth cruise!
Our West Africa cruises visit modern cities such as Banjul, or sleepy Mindelo, capital of the Cape Verde Islands, boasting Portuguese colonial buildings from Porto Grande.
With temperatures averaging at about 20-22°C, the Canary Islands and West Africa are perfect winter destinations, and Spring temperatures tend to dominate throughout the year in the Canaries, with hot and dry climates in West Africa; but the volcanic islands will provide cooler temperatures the higher up the mountains you travel.
