Destination Tenerife (ES) – Tenerife (ES)

Dates 30 November (Embark 16h00) – 6 December (Disembark 10h00

Join us on a voyage through the Canary Islands aboard the Santa Maria Manuela, where each stop promises new adventures and breathtaking scenery. Our journey begins in Tenerife’s vibrant capital, where modernity meets tradition against stunning coastal views. Before you board, explore the Parque Marítimo César Manrique, a fusion of art and nature, and marvel at Santiago Calatrava’s architectural wonder, the Auditorium.

We set sail for La Gomera, a hidden gem with crystal-clear waters inviting a refreshing swim. Discover the island’s palm-filled valleys, deep ravines, black sand beaches, and magical forests, which have earned it the title of the Canary Island’s hidden treasure.

As voyagers, you’re encouraged to partake in sailing activities, enriching your experience and creating lasting memories. Learn the ropes, take the helm, and immerse yourself in life at sea. There will be ample time for reading, playing board games, or sharing stories by the bar when not sailing.

Continuing to La Palma, the “isla bonita,” we delve into its UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and the ecological wonders of the Caldera de Taburiente National Park. La Palma is also a World Biosphere and Starlight Reserve, offering scenic and climatic diversity. Visit the observatory to learn about the importance of preserving dark skies from resident astrophysicists.

Our final leg returns us to Tenerife, completing our island-hopping odyssey. Reflect on the memories and wonders discovered as we bid farewell to the Canary Islands, with a celebratory deck BBQ in Santa Cruz before disembarking the following morning.

Vessel

Santa María Manuela

The Santa Maria Manuela was launched on 10 May 1937 in Lisbon. It is a 67-metre sailing ship. The ship was named after the owner’s wife, Maria Manuela, mother of 16 children. The main function of the Santa Maria Manuela was cod fishing. The Santa Maria Manuela underwent a number of structural changes over the years, from the removal of the masts to the installation of a navigation bridge. In 1993 the ship was considered obsolete, was dismantled and only the steel hull remained. The following year the Santa María Manuela Foundation was created, a project that united 17 institutions under the same purpose: to recover the ship. The SMM now has unique conditions for sea voyages, events, parties and training at sea. Predominant colour WHITE.

Sailing on the sailing boats of the Nao Victoria Foundation is a magnificent human, technical and natural experience. You will take part in the sailing watches and experience the camaraderie of people of different ages, cultures and backgrounds, all as fond of the sea and boats as you are. You will learn navigation techniques, manoeuvring, knots and rigging, as well as getting to recognise the main stars and constellations. And all this in a natural environment as different, indomitable and incredibly beautiful as the sea.

A mini adventure full of humanity. My dream since I was a child, to see the sails swell in the wind, with the bow cutting waves up and down. Swallowing the sky, swallowing the sea. I am one of those who never stop, I do not miss even the smallest detail and Nao Victoria and you have filled me. All my nights different, always ecstatic. Captain, crew a 10, volunteers, I have no scale to name your dedication, your courtesy, your bizarreness. Historically well prepared, I now admire even more those heroes who preceded us.

The person who decides to make a voyage aboard the nao Victoria will find: a wooden ship that tries to recreate the feeling of being in one of those primitive ships that achieved such great feats, with a crew of people enthusiastic about sailing, the history of Spain very close, attentive and friendly, which will allow us to participate in all maneuvers and activities.
