Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are very popular with the British, especially in winter, as they are some of the nearest places, guaranteeing sun, and warm weather. Most cruise ships leave from Southampton. The Canary Islands are also popular to visit in spring and autumn, which tend to attract more international passenger bases.

Health Information when traveling by cruises

In recent decades, the cruise industry has expanded from 17 million passengers in 2009 to 24 million in 2017. The cruise itinerary includes all continents, ranging in length from an average of a week to a few months.

People think that cruising is quiet, but this is often far from the case. Port activities and event schedules, as well as short trips to the port, can be exhausting, this is why visitors are advised to stay as healthy as possible before boarding.

The supply of medicines on board is limited, and individuals should carry their own regular medicines with them, at least enough to cover the duration of travel. It is also useful to use a copy of any current duplicate prescription as a backup. This is why it is important to know the basic health information for travelers.

Cruises from UK
