Taking a cruise to see the Canary Islands sounds legendary. Windstar Cruises is charting a nine night trip through the islands from November 2026 through January 2027 and will stop in two new ports for the first time.

A release notes that the two new destinations are Porto Santo in Portugal and El Hierro in Spain. It adds that Porto Santo was once home to Christopher Columbus, and El Hierro is a UNESCO Global Geopark.

"We're always looking to craft new itineraries that show off the authentic heart of a destination, and these updated Canary Islands voyages do just that," said Jess Peterson, director of destination experience & itinerary planning. "By adding ports like Porto Santo and El Hierro – places larger ships can't easily visit – we're giving our guests a chance to experience a quieter, more natural side of the Canaries, with all the comforts of a Windstar yacht."

If you’re looking to travel during the holiday season, this sounds like a fun option!
