A white Christmas is nice, but that is hardly ever the case in Merseyside, so no one would blame you if you fancied basking in the sun instead over the next festive season.
If you want to leave the stress of Christmas behind, you can book a 14-night Canary Island adventure now which means you won't have to lift a finger. Fred. Olsen is now taking bookings for their Canary Island Christmas & Funchal Fireworks cruise for December 2025.
If you decide to book, you could be setting sail from the Liverpool Cruise Terminal on December 22, 2025, on the company's flagship Bolette. For four days you will enjoy all the luxury of life on the high seas, spending Christmas Day on board sampling their menus at the Bloomsbury & Terrace Restaurant, The Austrailia Room, The View or The Poolside Restaurant.

On December 27, you will stop at Las Palmas, Spain, and have a chance to explore its history and culture before heading to Arrecife with its expansive rock reef and lunar-like landscape with shades of red, orange and yellow. Then there are stops in Santa Cruz and Palma for the last days of the year.
Passengers will then ring in 2026 at sea with fireworks between stops around Portugal. The route of the cruise is renowned for its night skies with Gran Canaria being designated as a UNESCO Starlight Tourist destination.
Fred. Olsen said: "Our team has designed this festive cruise on Bolette to showcase the natural landscapes of the Canaries, including the golden dunes of Maspalomas, imposing Mount Teide, and the volcanic valleys of Caldera de Taburiente.
