I think I take this photo in early 90's. This was Euroson cruise ships that operates several times in Madeira island. The ship was, orginaly, a ferry. And today she do something like that with the new name Arberia. Is a cruiseferry owned by Chryses Finance Co. and operated by Ilion Lines in their Trieste–Durres–Bari-service.

One of these days, the italian cruise ship MSC Poesia left Funchal port. She goes slowly until east side of the Funchal amphiteather to shows the city and all of its beauty. Then reversed course and went west to America. It's a great gift to all passengers.

You can see this picture with Riviera cruise ship departs from Funchal port and all houses in land. Above I put a video that I make in that moment.

Pode ver esta fotografia do navio de cruzeiros Riviera a partir do Porto do Funchal e o imenso casario. Abaixo coloquei um vídeo que fiz igualmente naquela altura.

Marco Polo is an old cruise ship that continues crossing seas with elegance. Some days ago she was been in Funchal Port and I take this picture when left the port in a quiet sea.
