I like very much cuise ships. And, from my home I can see them coming and going out in Funchal port that had in 2011 the visit from 303 cruise ships and more than 540.000 passagengers. I did this zoom to the last departure of Ventura, a big cruise ship. Like you see, the passagengers appreciate that special moments.

The cruise ship Ventura, from the british company P&O, is not a constant presence in Funchal port, but passes through the capital of Madeira Island a few times during the year. It's a cruise ship with avant-garde lines, with huge outdoor cabins, as you can see in this zoom made by my soon Bernardo.

O navio de cruzeiros ventura, da companhia inglesa P&O, não é uma presença assídua no Porto do Funchal, mas passa pela capital da ilha da Madeira algumas vezes durante o ano. É um navio de linhas vanguardistas, com imensos camarotes exteriores, conforme se pode ver neste zoom feito pelo meu filho Bernardo.
