On cruise to Tenerife, one will find sleepy hillside villages, mountain forests rich with lush, pine vegetation, banana plantations, snow capped mountains and sunny beaches. When visiting Tenerife, passengers can enjoy golf on a beautifully landscaped course, shop in one of the many outdoor marketplaces, or dine on paella, tapas or authentic Spanish pizza.
Tenerife’s main port is Santa Cruz and its beautiful U-shaped harbor is a welcomed sight for passengers young and old. If one chooses a major cruise line, a shuttle bus will be provided to transport him or her to the gates of the city where a dazzling experience will be enjoyed. The nearby city of Santa Cruz is also an ideal place in which to spend time. A historic city founded in the 1400s, Santa Cruz boasts architecture that has been preserved in its authentic 15th century style, making it a sight well worth seeing.
Once outside the city gates visitors will discover a lovely, wide promenade called the Avenida Jose Antonio Primo de Riviera. The promenade runs parallel with the seafront and features a generous tree-lined pavement which is home to a wide selection of boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, and nightclubs featuring live entertainment seven days a week. The streets that stretch to Tenerife’s inland from the promenade area hold a vast array of silver shops filled with quality jewelry, as well as a marketplace featuring bargain prices on a wide variety of electronics.
A Major Cruise Line — A Wise Choice
