What can Oceania Cruises passengers see during a port call in Lanzarote?

Lanzarote may be compact, but its landscapes change dramatically within relatively short distances, making it possible to experience very different sides of the island during a single cruise call. For first-time visitors, Timanfaya National Park is often at the top of the list. The Fire Mountains, geothermal demonstrations at Islote de Hilario and the Route of the Volcanoes offer an extraordinary introduction to the volcanic forces that shaped Lanzarote. Continue through the south and the scenery changes again. At El Golfo, the green waters of the Charco de los Clicos contrast with the black volcanic coastline, while Los Hervideros and the Janubio Salt Flats reveal another side of the island’s relationship with the Atlantic. In La Geria, vineyards grow in hollows dug into black volcanic ash, creating one of Lanzarote’s most distinctive cultural landscapes and offering the opportunity to discover the island’s winemaking tradition. With a longer stay in port, it may also be possible to travel north and discover the influence of Lanzarote-born artist César Manrique, particularly at Jameos del Agua and the Cactus Garden, where art, architecture and volcanic nature come together.

The places you can comfortably visit will depend on your Oceania ship, cruise date and time in port, which is why the excursions available on our website are selected specifically for each call.

A useful tip for busy cruise days

Some Oceania calls during the 2026–2027 season coincide with other cruise ships in Arrecife.

On Busy and Very Busy cruise days, popular attractions such as Timanfaya can receive more visitors than usual. If you are planning to explore Lanzarote independently, it is particularly useful to organise your transport and any necessary attraction tickets in advance.

If you are joining one of our shore excursions, the itinerary is planned around your ship’s schedule and the time available during your particular call.

A more personal way to discover Lanzarote from your Oceania cruise

A cruise call gives you only a limited number of hours to discover Lanzarote, so how you explore the island can make a real difference to your day ashore. At Lanzarote Experience Tours, our shore excursions are designed for passengers who prefer to discover the island in a small group, accompanied by a local guide and travelling in comfortable transport.

Our small groups are organised by language, so Spanish, English and German-speaking guests are not mixed in the same vehicle. This allows the guide to spend more time sharing the stories, landscapes and character of Lanzarote rather than constantly repeating the same explanation in several languages.

The excursions available for each Oceania call are selected according to your ship’s scheduled arrival and departure times, taking into account travelling distances and the time needed for a comfortable return to the Port of Arrecife.

Small group. Local guide. One language. More time to enjoy Lanzarote.

Which shore excursion is right for your Oceania call?

Not every excursion is suitable for every port call. The best option will depend on your ship, cruise date and the amount of time available in Lanzarote. For some calls, a half-day exploring Timanfaya and the volcanic south may be the perfect choice. Longer stays in port can make it possible to discover more of the island, while passengers looking for complete flexibility may prefer a private itinerary.

Best shore excursions in Lanzarote for Oceania Cruises passengers

Timanfaya & South Tour — Volcanoes and the South

If this is your first visit to Lanzarote, the Timanfaya & South Tour is an excellent introduction to the island’s volcanic landscapes. Travel in a small group to Timanfaya National Park, including the Route of the Volcanoes and geothermal demonstrations, before continuing through the south to El Golfo and the Charco de los Clicos, Los Hervideros, the Janubio Salt Flats and La Geria. At approximately 5 hours, the tour combines some of Lanzarote’s most distinctive landscapes in a route that works particularly well for cruise passengers with limited time ashore.

Best for: first-time visitors who want to experience Timanfaya and the highlights of southern Lanzarote in one excursion.

A small bottle of water, attraction entrance fees and transport from and back to the cruise meeting point are included.

Grand Tour — See more of Lanzarote

If your Oceania call gives you enough time ashore, the Grand Tour allows you to experience both the volcanic south and some of Lanzarote’s most remarkable attractions in the north. The cruise itinerary combines Timanfaya National Park, Jameos del Agua and the Cactus Garden, with La Geria when the ship’s schedule allows sufficient time. Rather than trying to include the Grand Tour on every cruise date, we only make it available when the ship’s time in port allows the itinerary to be completed comfortably.

Best for: passengers with a longer port call who want to see more of Lanzarote in a single day.

Timanfaya Express — Timanfaya made simple

Already planning to explore Lanzarote independently? Timanfaya Express can be a useful option for passengers who have their own or a rental vehicle and want a convenient way to visit Timanfaya. You drive independently to our meeting point in Yaiza, where you join an approximately 3-hour experience including the Fire Mountains, geothermal demonstrations at Islote de Hilario and the Route of the Volcanoes.

Important: Timanfaya Express does not include cruise-port pick-up or return. You need your own or a rental vehicle to reach Yaiza.

Best for: independent travellers who want to organise the rest of their day themselves while including Timanfaya National Park.

Private Shore Excursion — Your island, your way

For passengers looking for maximum flexibility, a Private Shore Excursion allows you to discover Lanzarote with your own vehicle and official local guide. Your itinerary is created around your interests, your Oceania ship’s schedule and the places you would most like to visit — whether that means Timanfaya, César Manrique’s creations, La Geria, the volcanic coast or a combination of different areas.

Entrance fees are not included in the private tour price and are paid separately according to the places you choose to visit.

Best for: couples, families or private groups who want a personalised day in Lanzarote at their own pace.

Arrecife Cruise Port — practical information for Oceania passengers

Oceania Cruises ships call at the Port of Arrecife, Lanzarote’s main cruise port. The berth used by your ship may vary from one call to another. If you have booked a shore excursion with Lanzarote Experience Tours, always follow the meeting instructions provided for your particular cruise date, where you will find the exact meeting point and time for your excursion. Our meeting arrangements take into account the berth used by your ship, helping you start your excursion without wasting valuable time ashore.

Always check the meeting information for your specific Oceania ship and cruise date before your excursion.

Make your Oceania call in Lanzarote count

A few hours in Lanzarote can take you from volcanic craters and black lava fields to vineyards, dramatic Atlantic coastline and the unique creations of César Manrique.

The key is choosing an experience that fits your ship’s time in port rather than trying to see too much in a single day.

At Lanzarote Experience Tours, we plan our shore excursions around each Oceania call, combining local knowledge, small groups and carefully selected itineraries with sufficient time planned for your return to the Port of Arrecife.

Whether you are arriving aboard Regatta, Insignia, Allura or Sirena, select your ship and cruise date to discover the excursions available specifically for your day in Lanzarote.

Your time ashore may be limited. Your experience of Lanzarote doesn’t have to be.
