Your day ashore, made personal.

Arriving in Madeira on a cruise ship? We would be delighted to help you make the most of your time on the island. Our shore excursions are private and thoughtfully planned in line with your ship's schedule, so you can enjoy Madeira in a relaxed, personal, and comfortable way.

The experiences shown here are simply suggestions, designed to give you an idea of what can be seen in just a few hours ashore. They are not rigid programmes, but starting points that can be adjusted to your interests, available time, and the kind of day you would most enjoy.

Whether you would prefer to discover some of Madeira's most iconic viewpoints, explore quieter and more authentic areas, or simply enjoy a scenic drive at your own pace, we will help create the right experience for you. We take care of everything from port pick-up to your comfortable return to the ship, so you can simply relax and enjoy the island.

Stops may vary depending on ship schedule, weather, and road conditions.
