Nine débuts in Funchal harbour

By 6 Fevereiro, 2017One Comment

Funchal harbour was always a stopping point for many travelers. Last century, with the development of the cruise industry, it became a important stopover for many shipping companies. Just last year, the harbour received over 724 thousand passengers and crew, divided by 294 arrivals. British and German tourists were – again – the most numerous. But ships tended to be smaller than on previous years. For this year, there are already over 300 bookings, which will certainly bring in more passengers, especially as there are 12 first-timers. Most os these come to Funchal for the first time, but three just changed names: TUI Discovery (former Splendour of the Seas), TUI Discovery 2 (ex Legend of the Seas) and Columbus (ex Pacific Pearl), return under a new guise, on May 2nd, September 28th and May 20th, respectively.

But there are also ships that have never been here. Especially for those who love ships, here are the dates:

March 5th – “Viking Star”.

March 30th – “Soleal”,

April 10th –  “Midnatsol”

April 20th – “Mein Schiff 5”

May 23rd – “Monarch”

November 10th –  Norwegian Star”,

November 13th – “AIDAprima”

November 28th  – “Veendam”

December 10th – “MSC Seaside”
