Spain holidays: TUI among cruise lines to restart cruises in Canary Islands next month

The FCDO adds: “Travellers should follow the advice of the local authorities on how best to protect themselves and others, including any measures that they bring in to control the virus.

“If you are returning from Spain you will be required to self-isolate on your return to the UK, but the FCDO is not advising you to cut short your visit.”

Holidaymakers may also be subject to random spot checks on arrival, including temperature checks and a “visual health assessment”.

The first ships to cruise between the islands will be the Mein Schiff II, from TUI and based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and the Europa II, from Hapag Lloyd, based in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
