14 Night Transatlantic Westbound Cruise on board Celebrity Century

Lush forests, spectacular beaches, deserts, mountains - Tenerife's options will leave you in a quandary for how to spend your precious day. Take a cable car to the top of Mount Teide, a volcano which also happens to be the highest point in Spain and casts the largest shadow in the world. Stand in its surrounding landscape and feel like you're on the moon's surface. In reality, you'll be standing where parts of The Planet of the Apes and Star Wars were filmed.

Known as the "Floating Garden" due to its remarkable variety of vegetation, fruit and flowers, the picturesque capital of Madeira Island also offers a variety of activities for visitors. If you're not surfing, diving or sailing, drop a line into the Portuguese waters and you may hook an "Espada Preta," the delicious black scabbard fish indigenous to the local waters. The fish, incidentally, is wonderful when accompanied by a glass of famous Madeira wine.
