You’ll soon see ashore on a Madeira cruise holiday why this destination is known as the Garden Island: it has such a lush covering of colourful, sub-tropical plants, trees and flowers, the sweet fragrance fills the air. Waterfalls in the forest and Funchal’s flower markets are just a couple of visual delights that feature in Madeira. From Funchal, you can choose to visit the Botanical Garden and the fishing village of Câmara de Lobos where Churchill went to paint. There’s also Camacha, the wicker centre, and Reid’s Palace Hotel for traditional afternoon tea - just a few of many wonderful ways to spend your time on Madeira during your Portugal cruise.
