With an overnight in Funchal, there’s time for the full Madeira experience — from a traditional toboggan ride down Monte to a tasting at the Blandy Wine Lodge, a winery that has been in business for over 200 years. Staying overnight in the UNESCO-listed Bordeaux, classic French flavors beckon your senses, from the iconic canelé cakes to a variety of cheeses to renowned local wines. An overnight in London brings you to an awe-inspiring experience of navigating the River Thames and docking near Tower Bridge alongside the famous HMS Belfast, a historic ship with a story that will spark your curiosity. Find your way to the historic Alfama neighborhood in Lisbon and experience traditional fado music at Tasca do Chico. St. Malo’s Brittany heritage runs strong in its local cuisine, and you can indulge in a helping of moules frites – steamed mussels and chips. This is a grand feast for the senses that leaves traces of culture, history, and taste in every corner of the heart.

Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, lies off the northwest coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. A walk along the Santa Cruz promenade comes with views of lush green flora and rocky mountain peaks against blue sky. Playa Jardin offers spectacular views of black sand dotted with verdant palm trees and the deep blue waters of the Atlantic lapping against the shore, creating a vibrant picture of paradise.
Mount Teide, the highest point of elevation in Spain, offers breathtaking views with a short cable car ride up near its summit. The active volcano offers fertile grounds that are home to over 150 plant species, making it a colorful landscape you will not want to miss. Its walking paths give you the chance to challenge your muscles to the ultimate hike.
The cuisine of the Canary Islands is a rich and savory mix of Spanish, African, and Latin-American foods. Even one of its staple foods, bananas, originated in Asia. This cultural combination of foods makes eating in the Canaries an adventure of its own. With flavors of fish, rice, meat, and locally grown fruits and vegetables, your taste buds will never be bored.
