Cruises to Puerto del Rosario (Fuerteventura), Spain

Fuerteventura is the second largest of Spain's Canary Islands, a long, dry island about 60 miles (97 km) off the coast of North Africa. It runs about 62 miles (100 km) from end to end and has the longest white-sand beaches in the archipelago, 152 beaches in all. Its signature sight is the dune field of Corralejo in the north, a natural park of rolling sand beside the sea, and the whole island has been a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2009. Its trade winds and Atlantic swells draw windsurfers, kitesurfers and surfers all year.

Do cruise ships dock in Fuerteventura? Yes. Ships berth at Puerto del Rosario on the east coast, the island's capital since 1860. How far is the cruise port from town? Global Ports Holding, the terminal operator, puts the city center about 500 meters away, roughly a third of a mile, so the shops, cafes and sculptures of the capital are an easy walk. Known until 1957 as Puerto de Cabras, the Port of the Goats, it is a working town rather than a resort, and the island's big beaches and the old capital of Betancuria are reached by tour or taxi.

Cruises to Fuerteventura are part of Canary Islands and Western Europe itineraries. MSC calls most often, followed by Costa, with CroisiEurope, Cunard, Star Clippers and Azamara also visiting.

Choose your day by mood: the Corralejo dunes and beaches for sand and sea, or Betancuria in the mountains for history, since the two lie in opposite directions from the port.

On a luxury cruise line, guests experience highly personalized service, a more intimate (and usually formal) onboard experience, gourmet cuisine, well-appointed accommodations, and fantastic amenities. Many of these brands have smaller ships, allowing them to reach ports of call that the larger ships can't, which results in unique itineraries.

All of these brands feature a version of all-inclusive pricing, and some of them have ships with all-suite accommodations. Although these cruise lines are usually more expensive than the rest, they also provide their guests with so much more, resulting in a fantastic value when considering all that's included.

On these types of cruise lines, there's usually a focus on a specific destination or theme. Itineraries are usually very destination intensive, aided by the fact that they're able to reach many ports of call that larger ships can't.

During the cruise, there will usually be plenty of interesting lectures given by experts on the destination being visited. Often, shore excursions are included in the cost of the cruise.

Small, but comfortable, ships are commonplace here, with anywhere from basic to very luxurious public spaces, cuisine, and accommodations (depending on the cruise line and ship).

Sailing Yachts, sail-assisted motor ships, offer a really unique vacation experience.

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 Puerto del Rosario (Fuerteventura), Spain

Rolling dunes, the island's 15th-century first capital and miles of white-sand beach, plus a sculpture trail steps from the pier. Here are the best things to do in Fuerteventura on a cruise day:

♦ Corralejo Dunes Natural Park

Stretching south from the town of Corralejo along the northeast coast, this protected park covers about 6,600 acres (2,668.7 hectares) of pale sand dunes and beaches. The main road from Puerto del Rosario to Corralejo runs through its final miles, so you can walk straight into the dunes, swim from the beaches beside them, or simply take in the view of sand meeting sea.

♦ Betancuria

Founded in 1404 by the Norman explorer Jean de Bethencourt, this village in the central mountains was the first capital of the Canary Islands and remained Fuerteventura's capital until 1834. It sits about 13 miles (21 km) southwest of Puerto del Rosario, and its church of Santa Maria briefly served as the seat of a bishop in the 1420s.

♦ Lobos Island

A short boat ride from Corralejo, the small islet of Lobos is a natural park of its own, with clear water that makes the strait between it and Fuerteventura one of the island's two main diving areas. Pair it with the dunes for a full northern day.

♦ Puerto del Rosario Sculpture Trail

The capital has an open-air sculpture park of around 100 works by different artists placed along its streets and seafront. Following it on foot from the port is the easiest way to see the town and stay close to the ship.

♦ Majorero Cheese and Island Food

Goats are part of Fuerteventura's identity, and the capital's old name meant Port of the Goats. Their milk makes Majorero cheese, one of only two Canarian cheeses with a protected designation of origin. Roast or stewed goat is the traditional main dish, and a plate of cheese is the easiest way to taste the island in town.

♦ The Southern Beaches

The long, sheltered sands of Playa de Sotavento on the southeast coast have hosted an international windsurfing and kiteboarding championship since 1985 and are among the island's most popular beaches. They lie in the south of the island, so plan them as a full-day trip.
