Parece um postal, com uma harmonia entre o navio de cruzeiros AIDAsol atracado no Terminal Norte, a sua sobra no mar, e o incomparável anfiteatro da cidade do Funchal.

 
Uma esplanada flutuante com vista para a cidade do Funchal. É isso mesmo que aquela parte posterior do navio AIDAsol proporciona aos seus passageiros para retemperarem depois de visitarem a cidade e a ilha.
As grandes e frondosas árvores que vemos atrás, assim como aquela casinha de prazeres muito mal aproveitada, fazem parte da Quinta Vigia, onde está o presidente do Governo Regional.

Tirei esta fotografia ontem de manhã. Poderiam ser mais dois navios de cruzeiro atracados no porto, que se encontram no Funchal. Mas o que me fez registar esta imagem foi porque me apercebi do reflexo do AIDAsol nos vidros do Mein Shiff 4. Isso é percetível e até a linha diagonal da frente do navio da Aida Cruises pode ver-se bem abaixo da chaminé do paquete da Tui Cruises.

The AIDAsol cruise ship began today winter cruises in Madeira. She will return every week until April 2016.

You can see from the left: MSC Divina, Queen Victoria, AIDAbella (is going out for the harbour), Azura, AIDAsol and Thomson Majesty. You can't see Boudicca and Saga Sapphire.

This is the last day of the year. In Funchal we have the famous fireworks at midnight. Because that the city and all island is full with tourists who came to see the beautifull fireworks in the the Funchal amphiteater. They came in airplanes and in cruise ships, like you can see in this photos. The last one show two ships positioned in one of the points where the fireworks will go to the sky. There are six cruise ships (Queen Victoria, Azura, AIDAsol, AIDAbella, Thomson Majesty and Boudicca) today in Funchal. All of them and more two, the Lobo Marinho ferry and the Ponta de São Louirenço tug, will do a horn concert, the "Madeira new year ships horns concert", at 19.15 hours. Will be a unic moment in Madeira island and in all world. I will try to record and tomorrow I show. One more words just to say that we whait two more cruise ships: Saga Saphire and MSC Divina.

I take this photo this week, on monday. It's three crew members of AIDAsol cruise ship.

The AIDASol cruise ship arrive today for winter season in Madeira and Canary islands week cruises. Until april 2012 she will arrive at Funchal on sundays and departs on mondays afternoon. The first picture was taken with three onboard AIDAsol live camera and we can see Funchal city from the the. And, at the same time, I make the others pictures from my home. 

AIDAsol cruise ship will return today to Funchal port. Next monday came again and going out on mondays. She we will do the same next sunday and depart on mondays and and repeat until april 2013. It's the winter season for the AIDA Cruises cruise ship.
