Cruises to Funchal (Madeira) in 2026 & 2027

Funchal is the main city of Madeira, a Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean. Cruise passengers arrive close to the centre, with the waterfront, old town and market all within reach. The city is known for its hillside setting, gardens, tiled streets and views over the bay. Popular options include the cable car to Monte, the Monte Palace gardens and walks through the Zona Velha. Madeira is also known for its wine, levada walking routes and steep coastal scenery, so Funchal works well for both a city visit and a wider island tour.
