The programme

Leaving the port, we will head towards the east coast, where Funchal began its expansion. Here we will stop at the Ponta do Garajau headland, known for its Christ the King statue, which stands with arms open towards the sea. It offers a great panoramic view of Funchal city and Garajau Park.
Once in Funchal, we will stop off at a local handicraft shop, where we can admire a range of typical lace products and taste the unmissable wines produced using the renowned local Madeira vine variety, thanks to which the island has achieved worldwide fame.
We will take a cable car up to Monte, which offers a spectacular view. An evocative spot located at 660 metres above sea level, Monte is known not only for its wonderful subtropical gardens, but also because its church houses the remains of Charles I, the last emperor of Austria.
