Until one day. It's true, the Pacif Dream, who accompanied us all on Fridays for many months in a pioneering operation of Pullmantur Cruises in summer IATA, is now, today, his last trip to Funchal in this program. Go no to Lisbon and then to the Mediterranean, before scoring direction for Latin America.

Até um dia. É verdade, o Pacif Dream, que nos acompanhou todas as sextas-feira desde há muitos meses numa operação pioneira da Pullmantur Cruises no Verão IATA, faz hoje a sua última viagem ao Funchal neste programa. Segue para Lisboa e depois Mediterrâneo, antes de marcar rumo para a América Latina.
The Pullmantur cruise ship "Pacific Dream" began yesterday to make weekly cruises in the Atlantic, with passages in Funchal on Friday. Replaces the "Atlantic Star" that has been positioned to make travel in Brazil. Was planned to make more connections to Madeira, but the H1N1 virus that emerged in Mexico unfortunately, at this stage, chase tourism away and the company decided to withdraw the ship from Acapulco and put it on this side of the Atlantic, with stops in Gibraltar, Morocco, Lanzarote, in Canary islands and Madeira. I was on board the ship and left me very good impression with crew friendly, starting with the capitan Antonio Alonso, a native of Bilbao, the Basque Country, in Spain.
