Funchal, the first vessel managed by Arcalia, actually began her career as the Portuguese Presidential Yacht, for transatlantic visits, before her conversion into a cruise vessel. A regular refurbishment programme has maintained her high standard.
At 10,000 gross tons, this classic cruise liner with her beautiful profile charming interiors and sheltered promenade decks is renowned for her yacht-like ambience. As a 571 passengers capacity vessel, she is exceptionally convivial and this more social, personalised style of cruising, along with her attentive and dedicated staff crew, some of which have been with her for over 20 years, has enabled her to attract a strong loyal following of repeat clientele.
All around the world, along the magnificent South America coastline, the Artic Circle, the Norwegian Fjords, The Atlantic Islands, the Mediterranean Sea and recently Australia, the Funchal presently stands out one of the finest examples of classic cruise liner, whose kind is increasingly sought out by experienced cruise travellers.
She truly is as enchanting as the beautiful island of Madeira, from whose capital she takes her name.

Classic International Cruises, whose chefs are long established members of such culinary institutions as Les Amis d'Escoffier and the Academie Culinaire de Lyon firmly believe that one of the great pleasures of cruising is good food and fine wine. Whether you are dining in the elegant restaurant or having a buffet style breakfast or luncheon in more casual surroundings, you will not be disappointed.
Light and airy restaurants let in the sunshine so you can enjoy being served a full English breakfast or a four course lunch, whilst in the evening, with the subtle changes of atmosphere, there is a stylish elegance. A beautiful setting to savour the culinary experience carefully prepared into delightful menus designed to appeal to the most discerning palates. From the Sail Away Dinner on your first night aboard to the final breakfast before you disembark, you will find a tempting array of delights awaiting your pleasure.
Certain shipboard traditions such as the Captain's Gala Welcome and Farewell Dinners, elegant afternoon teas, and late night snacks that culminate once a cruise into a Buffet Magnifique are all scrupulously observed. A deck barbecue, whether served by the light of the Midnight Sun or sailing away in the balmy evening from a Greek island is yet another occasion for the chefs to display their skills.
Some specially selected fine wines from the wine list will complement your meal and of course, smiling, attentive service always adds to the pleasures of dining.
