Experience the world's most beautiful golf courses

On this Golf & Cruise voyage, golfing adventures await on the European Atlantic islands. The islands, all of which are volcanic, are blessed with lush flora and fauna. So you can look forward to in-depth encounters with nature and countless views of the Atlantic Ocean. A cruise that offers more than “just” golfing experiences.

Wed, 04.03.2025, Santa Cruz, Tenerife (Spain) – Buenavista Golf at Melia Hacienda del Conde
Golf legend Severiano (Seve) Ballesteros designed one of his favourite golf courses in the far north-east of Tenerife near the Teno mountains. Wide, very playable fairways unfold on the volcanic terrain, giving every level of player a real chance. Only the bunkers that Seve loves so much have to be navigated intelligently around on the way to the finish. The clubhouse in the centre of the course is certainly exceptional, offering wonderful panoramic views of the fairways from its terrace.

Fri, 06.03.2025, San Sebastian, La Gomera (Spain) – Tecina Golf
The elongated layout of this course with its breathtaking 18 holes is found on a volcanic spur in the south of the island. The mostly straight fairways are located in a closely spaced fashion overlooking the Atlantic on a kind of high plateau. This location results in some very exciting holes with final “green areas”. The mixture of the green of the fairways and the blue of the Atlantic is sure to inspire passionate golfers.

Wed, 11.03.2025, Funchal, Madeira (Portugal) – Clube de Golf Santo da Serra
The oldest golf course on the island was established in 1937 at this location almost 1,000 m (3,280 ft) above sea level. The altitude of the course means that the climate is independent of the rest of the island. We recommend having a light jacket in your bag, as the temperatures will be very different from those in the harbour. The course itself is divided into two halves that stretch out from the clubhouse. The first nine holes plunge downhill towards the west in the direction of the cliffs, whereas the second nine spread out leisurely on a plateau behind the clubhouse. In general, you will be playing on mostly very sweeping fairways that are forgiving of the occasional shot.

Peter Martin

For Englishman Peter Martin, golf was the sport that fascinated him above all others from an early age. His work in the PGA of Germany coaching team for over 20 years, his further training as a PGA Health Pro and his experience as a base coach for the Lower Saxony-Bremen Golf Association form the basis for many adventures in the world of fascinating golf and his vocation as a golf teacher. In 2023, he qualified for the British Senior Open in Royal Porthcawl, the only major tournament for seniors outside America, and was voted ‘Professional of the Year’ by the PGA of Germany in the same year.

general information

  • In order to guarantee a comfortable flow of play for all golfers, we have determined a basic speed, which is sufficient for a playing time of 4.5 to 5 hours on foot (covering 18 holes with a trolley).
  • Due to tournaments, renovations, etc. at the various golf clubs, our Golf & Cruise programme is subject to change at short notice.
  • Golf & Cruise voyages allow all players with a handicap of 36 or less to play on courses all over the world. 
  • Additional courses can only be booked in conjunction with the basic package.
  • The reservation of e-carts cannot always be guaranteed due to local availability and weather conditions. You may, therefore, have to play and walk just with trolleys - possibly even on hilly courses. Please consider this when planning/booking your Golf & Cruise package. 
  • Halfway refreshments are always ordered via the respective golf club; we have no influence on the quality of the snacks. We kindly ask for your understanding.
  • When booking a Golf & Cruise package and flights through Hapag-Lloyd, we will register your golf equipment directly with the airlines – when possible and required. The current baggage regulations of the relevant airline apply. In your travel documents, which you will receive about four weeks prior to departure, you will find relevant information about this. Excess baggage fees for golf equipment are normally to be paid at check-in.
  • Rental clubs for right-handed and left-handed players are available on board, subject to a surcharge.
