Royal Caribbean International Cruise Lines
Lanzarote, Canary Islands
with Royal Caribbean

    With its landscapes filled with beaches and more than 300 volcanoes, plus perfect weather all year round, you'll quickly see why Lanzarote is an award-winning tourist destination. The island's dedication to the environment and tourism has even resulted in recognition from the World Tourism Organization as a universal model of sustainable development. In addition, the island has gone to considerable lengths to preserve its own history, culture and heritage.
  • The One Thing You Don't Want to Miss
    Visit the César Manrique Foundation to admire works by the world-famous artist as well as his private collection of other artists. The foundation resides in what was once Manrique's house, which has architectural features just as fascinating as the art inside it. Some of the more interesting features are the five lava bubbles that were turned into underground rooms when the house was built.
  • Other Fun Things to Do
    Check out El Golfo, a volcanic crater filled by underground seawater. It's a spectacular sight, with stunning deep-green water on a black-sand beach. Explore the national park of Timanfaya. This volcanic field has approximately 180 different plant species and is used as an authentic laboratory for biological research. Visit the Museum of Contemporary Art, located in the Castle of San José, a historic monument preserved by César Manrique.
  • Sporting Adventures
    As an ecological paradise, Lanzarote is perfect for exploring. Its crystal-clear waters, scuba diving and snorkeling are phenomenal, as are the deep-sea fishing and surfing. Another advantage Lanzarote has is the wind itself. With steady trade winds all year round, it's one of the best windsurfing spots in the world. Or, if you'd rather stay on land, you can ride the beach by horseback, venture out on a bike trip or hit the golf course.
  • Get a Taste of Local Flavor
    In addition to traditional Spanish cuisine, such as tapas, paella, and spicy mojo sauces, you'll probably see the local favorite Gofio on the menu as well. Made from toasted or ground maiz or wheat, it is often served with a drink or a meal.


Camel Ride & Fire Mountain - Tour LZ18

    Begin this unique excursion with a ride on Lanzarote camels that are in fact dromedaries and an experience not to be missed. Climb aboard a wicker basket chair on either side of the camel's hump. The approximate 20-minute ride will take you in a camel train over the volcanic dunes, which lies at the entrance of Timanfaya National Park.(Should the camel ride not appeal to you, you can wait in the camel park area.)

    Reboard your coach and continue into the National Park Timanfaya of the famous Fire Mountains whose presence dominate the island and is one of the most popular attractions. Ground temperatures at this location are approximately 140 degrees centigrade at a depth of only 4 inches and at 18 feet down; it is over 460 degrees centigrade. Demonstrations by park staff will show you the violent forces beneath the earth's crust, proving that the volcano is not extinct, but only sleeping dormant. You will also see the Salt Flats of Janubio and the water siphoning of Los Hervideros, which is the name of a tiny inlet with thundering surf. The return to the vessel will be through the beautiful Vineyards of La Geria, where you can sample the local Lanzarote wine.

    Note: Guests must be able to walk approximately 1.5 miles over uneven, rocky and dirt surfaces with inclines and some steps. Sturdy (closed toe) walking shoes and a light jacket (protection from the wind) are recommended on this tour. Guests are reminded that Fire Mountain is a popular attraction, which could result in delays at the entrance. Tour order may vary but all mentioned sites would be covered.


Grand Lanzarote Highlights - Tour LZ17

    This trip will lead you into the famous Fire Mountains of the National Park Timanfaya. The astonishing landscape of the park is reminiscent of a lunar surface and is the results of the continuous volcanic eruptions between 1730 and 1736. You will be amazed at the craters and experiments shown of the still active volcanoes. Demonstrations by uniformed park staff will show you the violent forces beneath the earth's crust, proving that the volcano is not extinct, but only sleeping. Before visiting the park, you will tour the Visitors Centre for further details and interpretative activities. The center was designed and built to prepare guests for a greater understanding and enjoyment of the area.

    Rejoin your coach and continue through the beautiful Vineyards of La Geria, where you can sample the local Lanzarote wine at one of the cellars. Afterwards, you will proceed for lunch at a typical Canary restaurant in Mancha Blanca. Driving to the north you will reach the Mirador del Rio, a viewpoint where you will have panoramic views (weather permitting). Before returning to the pier, you will drive to Jameos del Agua, a volcanic grotto that was formed when the lava flow met the cool waters of the Atlantic Ocean and was decorated by the artist, Cesar Manrique. (A 'jameo' is an underground volcanic tube whose roof has collapsed.) Its salt-water lagoon is home to the tiny, blind crabs that live in the transparent water. From there, return to the pier.

    Note: Guests must be able to walk approximately 3 miles over various uneven surfaces, inclines and many steps within the caves. Sturdy, slip resistant walking shoes and a light jacket are recommended. Guests will be required to descend into the caves via stone steps that can be slippery. This tour is not recommended for guests with walking difficulties or wheelchairs.


Lanzarote Wine Route - Tour LZ21

    Begin you exploration of the Lanzarote wine region at Monumento al Campesino, the Monument to the Peasant. The statue by Artist Cesar Manrique pays tribute to the centuries of farm work of Lanzarote's men and women. Continue on to visit Bodegas El Grifo, where you will have the opportunity to learn about the art of wine making in Lanzarote at the winery museum and library. This is the oldest winery in the Canary Islands and one of the oldest in Spain. Afterwards travel to the south side of the island to reach La Geria valley, whose landscape impresses anyone who can imagine the incredible effort needed to grow each grapevine. There in the most important wine growing area in Lanzarote, visit the Bodega la Geria, which was built at the end of the 19th century by the Rijo family. Sample some of the local vintages and learn first hand why wines from the island have earned international acclaim.

    Note: Guests must be able to walk approximately 1 mile over flat and cobblestone surfaces with 40 steps. Time permitting; limited shopping is available during the tour. Participants must be at least 18 years of age in order to sample the wine. Please take photo identification with you.


Trekking on Moonscape - Tour LZ19

    The walks are designed to suit all ages, physical conditions and interests and provide a totally different perspective of what usually is offered about the island. During the excursion you will visit several craters (Natural Park of Volcanoes), lava gorges, canals and tubes to understand the phenomena associated with volcanic activity. Along the route, you will be able to appreciate the variety of flora of the island and some outstanding geological formations brought about by the erosion. Doubtless, this island is a trekker's paradise as it has everything to attract the visitor who is looking for a holiday in harmony with nature. On the route, you will marvel at some breath-taking volcanic scenery. During the trip, you will enter the core of the eruption that took place from 1730 to 1736. You will visit several craters, lava gorges, volcanic canals and tubes, which will give you the sensation of being on another planet.
