Fuerteventura is a port of GLABAL PORTS HOLDING who also own ports such as Antigua and San Juan.
Fuerteventura has giraffes, stunning beaches and serene scenery. With so little light pollution it is wonderful for stargazing at night. This can be done from the ship mid ocean if you are lucky enough to have a Captain who turns the lights down.
However, the entire island is one of the Canary Islands’ three Starlight Reserves, a privilege given to only a few places on the planet. At Sicasumbre, the island’s first astronomical viewpoint, fans and specialists have free access to educational panels and observation instruments to enjoy the spectacle of stars, constellations, planets, and comets that the night sky of Fuerteventura has to offer.
Cruise ships love this sandy beach haven because of its exceptional temperature, long days, year-round sun, ideal wind and wave conditions, full variety of services and amenities.
Originally known as Puerto de las Cabras (translated “Port of the Goats”), and one of the nearest points in the Canaries to the African coast, Fuerteventura was established as a fishing settlement with a natural harbour. With a single jetty which can take ships up to a length of 304m, Fuerteventura is one of the main cruise ports in the Canary region serving all the cruise lines.
