Madeira breaks & cruises

Madeira has much to offer, whether you want to spend a relaxing week making the most of the wonderful climate or take in the stunning scenery on one of the many levada walks, there is something to suit all tastes. You can even explore the sub-tropical island of Madeira whilst on one of our ocean cruises and discover the delights of the capital, Funchal, with its cobbled lanes and flower markets.

A visit to Madeira wouldn't be complete without taking a stroll round one of the botanical Gardens such as the Quinto de Palheiro Gardens, established in the 18th century and filled with a beautiful array of foliage and colourful flowers. If you are feeling adventurous, try out the famous wickerwork toboggans from the country resort of Monte.
