Arrecife (Lanzarote), Spain
Lanzarote is the easternmost of Spain's Canary Islands, about 80 miles (125 km) off the coast of Africa, and an island defined by its volcanoes. Eruptions from 1730 to 1736 created 32 new volcanoes and buried about a quarter of the island in lava, and the artist Cesar Manrique later turned lava caves and an old fortress into cultural sites that are now among its best-known sights. The whole island has been a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1993.
Do cruise ships dock in Lanzarote? Yes. Ships tie up in the port of Arrecife, the island's capital on the east coast since 1852 and a relaxed town with a seafront, the El Reducto beach and the Charco de San Gines lagoon. How far is the cruise port from the town center? It depends on the berth: the terminal operator gives about 0.75 mile (1.2 km), while Spain's official tourism site places the Los Marmoles dock about 2.5 miles (4 km) out, so plan on a taxi from the farther berth.
Cruises to Lanzarote are mostly Canary Islands and Western Europe itineraries. MSC and Costa call most often, with Holland America, Celebrity, Cunard, Azamara and CroisiEurope also visiting. Arrecife is a turnaround port too, so some cruises start or end here, mainly MSC voyages along with CroisiEurope's ocean sailings.
The island's headline sights lie well outside town, Timanfaya in the southwest and Jameos del Agua in the north, so most visitors choose one by tour or taxi, then finish with a stroll around the Charco de San Gines lagoon in Arrecife.

River Cruise Lines
Becoming more and more popular, a river cruise is an immerse and destination-focused vacation experience, on a small and luxurious vessel.
River cruises sail through the inland waterways of some of the world's most interesting vacation destinations (i.e. Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America), and provide their guests with a greater opportunity to spend time visiting more unique ports of call than a traditional cruise typically would.
Because the destination is the star of a river cruise, (typically guided) shore excursions are included at no additional charge by many River cruise lines. There are usually many interesting lectures given during the cruise, by experts on the history and culture of the region being visited.
Among the famous rivers that one may take a river cruise on are the Rhine, Mississippi, Seine, Danube, Mekong, Nile, Yangtze, Amazon and Douro.

Things to do in Arrecife (Lanzarote), Spain
From lava fields that still steam to vines planted in volcanic pits, here are the best things to do in Lanzarote on a cruise day:
♦ Timanfaya National Park
The heart of the 18th-century eruptions is protected as a national park of about 20 square miles (51 square kilometers) in the southwest of the island, made up entirely of volcanic ground. Access is strictly controlled: visitors tour the lava fields by coach on a road closed to private traffic, and heat close to the surface powers demonstrations of steam bursting from the ground. For most first-time visitors it is the one thing not to miss.
♦ Jameos del Agua
In the north of the island, Cesar Manrique turned a series of caves within a volcanic lava tube into a cultural center with an underground saltwater lake, gardens, a restaurant and an auditorium. The lake is home to a tiny blind, yellowish-white squat lobster.
♦ La Geria Wine Country
In this protected landscape, Malvasia vines grow in pits dug into the volcanic ground, each sheltered from the wind by a small stone wall. The pattern of pits across the dark slopes is one of the island's most memorable sights.
♦ Castillo de San Jose
This 18th-century fortress overlooks the harbor in Arrecife. Since 1976 it has housed the International Museum of Contemporary Art, created at Cesar Manrique's initiative, with Spanish works from the mid-20th century, and it is close enough to town for a short visit.
♦ Charco de San Gines and El Reducto Beach
In the center of Arrecife, the island capital since 1852, this man-made lagoon lined with fishing boats makes a pleasant stroll, and El Reducto, the town beach, is the easy option for a swim close to the ship.
