Peter Deilmann Cruises Offers Great 2007 Options on the Canary Islands

Travelers from the U.S. who want to discover Spain’s Canary Islands, an archipelago of seven islands 700 miles off the coast of Africa, can take advantage of the free air, free shore excursions and free hotel nights offer from Peter Deilmann Cruises on sailings in March 2007 on the line’s European ocean liner, the five-star MS Deutschland.

The cruises, six and eleven nights in length, feature not only the well-known islands of Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Lanzarote, but also the lesser-known ones of La Gomera, El Hierro and La Palma, the Portuguese islands of Madeira and the Azores and two cities in Morocco.

Deilmann Cruises is offering free air transportation on these sailings from New York and 16 other U.S. gateways and very low air supplements from an additional 34 cities in the Midwest and West.

Each sailing also offers free shore excursions, valued up to $600 per person, and free airport-ship transfers. The free air cities include Boston, Hartford, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, Pittsburgh and seven others.

In addition, two of the cruises begin with a two-night complimentary stay in Las Palmas at the four-star Reina Isabel, a classic Spanish hotel in the downtown area that opens onto the beachfront promenade with good restaurants nearby.

The land and cruise packages depart the U.S. March 14 and 20, the six-night cruises begin Mar. 16 and 22. The first of the sailings calls at Puerto de la Estaca on El Hierro, San Sebastian on La Gomera, Funchal, Madeira, and Santa Cruz, La Palma, the world’s steepest island.

Two of the cruises offer special interest golf programs and the third has a garden theme program. Deilmann also offers Wellness programs, introduced this past year, while shore excursions on these cruises feature hiking, biking, horseback riding, whale and dolphin watching.
