Gastronomic cruise in partnership with Cuisine et Vins de France, the reference magazine for gastronomy.

With featured guests David Biraud, best sommelier in France in 2002 and best worker in France in sommellerie in 2004, and the starred chef, Xavier Mathieu.

PONANT invites you to discover spectacular places on this cruise between Spain’s Canary Islands and Portugal’s Madeira Islands. Succumb to the charms of this unforgettable 10-day trip aboard Le Dumont d’Urville, combining stunning landscapes, emblematic volcanic cones, and stretches of black-sand beach. 

Your cruise will begin on the island of Gran Canaria in Las Palmas, where Le Dumont d’Urville will take to the sea, sailing west to reach the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. In Puerto del Rosario, you will be able to admire the old town and its Canarian-style houses protected by high walls, the narrow streets and the long, sandy beach.   

Your ship will then set a course northward to carry you to Madeira, a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. On this steep island covered in luxuriant vegetation, the variety of landscapes, including sheer cliffs, levadas (Madeiran aqueducts), banana plantations, and the laurel forest Laurisilva listed with UNESCO, never ceases to amaze visitors.  

Here you will discover Funchal, the capital of the Madeira Islands. Its magnificent botanical gardens overlooking the city, its churches and its ancient fortress are sure to win you over. 

After a call in Santa Cruz de La Palma, Le Dumont d’Urville will then drop anchor at La Gomera. This tiny island with lush vegetation is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its biosphere reserve. This island is also renowned for its whistling language, Silbo, that the inhabitants use to communicate from one valley to another. 

Your cruise will continue in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Dominated by Spain’s tallest peak, Mount Teide, and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this charming volcanic island offers a great variety of landscapes. 

You will then discover Lanzarote, also called ‘island of fire’. You are sure to be surprised by its quasi-lunar landscapes, before sailing to the island of Gran Canaria and Las Palmas, the end of your trip.
