Even the most beautiful cruise comes to an end. And that's the case this time too. However, we can only recommend this trip. The Canary Islands are worth a trip, even in December. We had very nice weather in the first week of December with temperatures between 20 and 23 degrees. There was a little wind here and there, though. …
