Viking Cruise Tenerife
Viking Ship Ragnarok Cruise: Dolphins, Swimming & Drinks Along the Southern Coast
Sail the Atlantic aboard a legendary Viking vessel, discover wild dolphins, and swim beneath volcanic cliffs.
This Viking cruise in Tenerife takes you aboard the iconic ship Ragnarok, departing from Los Cristianos harbor and venturing into the channel between Tenerife and La Gomera — one of the most reliably active marine wildlife corridors in the Canary Islands.
The route follows the dramatic southern coastline past Playa de Las Americas and Adeje, revealing a landscape shaped by volcanic geology and Atlantic wind. The ship anchors near secluded cliffs and beaches, offering a swimming and snorkeling stop in clear, warm water where sea turtles are occasionally spotted.
Drinks including beer and wine are served throughout the journey, and optional food is available on board. Viking face painting adds a playful, photogenic element that passengers of all ages tend to enjoy.
