Fantastic Canary Islands cruises: secure cheap offers for 2025!

The Canary Islands are very popular as a cruise destination all year round. The mild temperatures, which are often above 20 degrees Celsius, make the archipelago an attractive travel destination. Every year over 700 cruise ships dock in Tenerife, the largest of the eight inhabited Canary Islands. Especially in the winter months, AIDA offers numerous cruises in the region, with routes lasting seven days or more. Evening paper reports that there are favorable booking periods for such cruises between mid-November and mid-December and early to mid-January.

Current prices show that a seven-day trip on the “Canary Islands & Madeira” route with the ship “AIDAcosma” is possible from 595 euros per person. For longer trips, such as the twelve-day “Great Canary Islands Tour & Madeira” with the “AIDAbella”, travelers have to expect from 1240 euros per person (as of May 27, 2025). However, prices rise significantly during the Christmas and New Year periods, with up to 80 percent more possible. The route mentioned above starts at 865 euros per person. Cruises and world travel also points out last-minute offers that are available from around 970 euros per person.

Booking recommendations and appearances

Demand increases particularly during the holidays, as school holidays take place in all 16 federal states. To benefit from better prices and options, early booking is recommended, especially for families. Flights are usually not included in the travel price and cost on average between 550 and 600 euros per person. However, cheaper flights can often be booked yourself, starting from 300 to 400 euros.

In addition to the common AIDA routes, there are currently two last-minute cruise routes available, each lasting 50 to 54 days. These trips can be booked from just 15,730 euros and include stops in various ports such as Barcelona, ​​Cádiz, Casablanca and Cape Town. The choice of cruise ship, in this case the “Crown Princess”, and the level of luxury are also important factors that should be taken into account when booking.

Special features of the cruises

Family-friendliness is a big plus point of AIDA ships. The “AIDAcosma” offers special offers for children of all ages. During the voyages, travelers can look forward to younger guests and families, who are often on board during holiday periods. Smaller ships offer a cozier atmosphere and access to less frequented destinations.

The specific design of the cruises and special discounts can be advantageous in addition to the prices if you keep the overall costs in mind. Knowledge of English or French can also be helpful on such trips to make the cruise experience more enjoyable.
