The fall season in the region ends with a ten-night cruise to the Canary Islands, which sails from the Portuguese port of Lisbon to Las Palmas.

In addition to destinations in the Spanish archipelago, the ship is also set to sail to Portugal’s Madeira Island and Morocco.

The Azamara Journey then sets sail to South Africa ahead of a winter season sailing in the Indian Ocean and Africa.
