2014 2015 DEPARTURES FROM

LISBON, PORTIMテグ & OPORTO



CEO’s Welcome

In 2014, Portuscale Cruises celebrates its first anniversary in full operation, shining in the different waters where it sails, namely in the Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic Ocean, North Sea and even in the Arctic Polar Circle. Operating in conformity with the strictest international rules, we strive to offer our clients our promised best, making them feel welcome and at home. Across the markets where we operate, namely Sweden, UK, France and Portugal, our passengers presented us with high satisfaction and loyalty levels, making us feel immensely proud. With occupancy rates always above 90% and in some cases above 95%! Until the end of 2014, we still have the magnificent New Year cruise and we will do everything to make the great and emblematic Africa Cruise come true. And in 2015 we will again be offering a wide choice of cruises, among which you’ll surely find the one which best suits your taste! You make the path as you go, you make the route as you navigate or in the words of the poet “To sail is necessary...” and in this case Portuscale Cruises continues sailing as it seeks to win its clients’ (navigators) confidence. The trust and partnerships meanwhile established with our stakeholders have been crucial to this project. M/v Funchal’s diligent crew and staff along with the entire Portuscale Cruises team hope to see you very soon and welcome you on board. Until then My best regards, Rui Alegre

THE DISCOVERIES CONTINUE...

... and you’ll be our Vasco da Gama.

Because we want you to enjoy your trip to the fullest, now is your turn, like Vasco da Gama, to explore and venture yourself as we sail out to discover our past. Immerse yourself in the history of Portugal and navigate through the achievements of our ancestors. Find inspiration in the myths and legends that tell us all about the Tagus, Lisbon and the Oceans. Refine your senses and treat yourself to delights from the different corners of the world. Through our show, inspired by our sailors and conquests, trace the Portuguese Discoveries Route and live epic moments. Experience something totally new, travel through the unknown and delve into the past. Be inspired by the mythical figures that make up our history and enrich our heritage. With still so much to discover and explore, let M/v Funchal take you there. Be a part of History, the Portuscale Cruises History.

WELCOME ON BOARD M/V FUNCHAL

Join us on one of Portuscale Cruises on board the wonderful and unique M/v Funchal. After a lengthy refit, which enabled the ship to conform to all the new international safety standards, it continues to fulfill many people’s dreams! Reborn – almost in its original colours – it symbolizes the charm and elegance of the sixties and the pride of the Portuguese Merchant Marine. The qualities of this former Portuguese Presidential yacht should not be concealed, but instead heralded. It remains a true classic vessel, with the beauty of the past, when cruise ships were “Sea Creatures” – perfect and at one with the sea. It is currently the second oldest cruise ship operating in the international market and the oldest still in operation, its original appearance being hardly untouched. Besides this, it keeps the pride in its name for over 50 years! As the number of repeat passengers increases influenced by their individual cruise experiences, they opt for trips with character on board classic vessels. The increasing demand for this type of small and intimate ship, that offers the charm of the “Great Sea voyages of yesteryear” and exclusive itineraries (including small ports of call, not accessible to larger vessels) is matched by a return to this type of cruise that privileges comfort, optional entertainment and where extensive decks make it possible to enjoy the adventure of a journey in the high seas. M/v Funchal and its fleet companions are an icon of a distant but unforgotten style, which increasingly |4|

makes sense to exist, especially at a time when most small and classic liners have disappeared from the market. Take the opportunity to travel on a real ship, the last one to still offer not one, but two open teakwood decks, cozy and comfortable-sized areas and an extremely elegant profile, reminiscent of the modern sixties. Come and experience the intimacy and robustness that only a quality period of a remote era can offer. So come on board M/v Funchal and find out what a real cruise is all about!

The Norwegian Coast is undoubtedly the world’s eighth natural wonder, and its fjords one of its main attractions, formed about 10 000 years ago following the glaciers’ melting and the sea’s invasion of this structure. A dazzling show of lights, colours and scents.The best-kept secret of Northern Europe, a place where shades lurk in between mountains, mingling with the light reflected on the green waters; where snow crystals feed flowers and waterfalls gush down narrow inlets. Winding fjords travel many kilometers inland. Their majestic bends often give the impression that the journey has come to an end, but as one bypasses the mountain’s steep slope, the fjord continues for many more kilometers. And when you least expect it …there, in front of your eyes, is the world’s most astonishing train journey: Flaam-Myrdal, which takes us along Europe’s longest and deepest fjord, Sognefjorden. Simply enjoy the paradise-like Norwegian landscape!

Located on a beautiful natural bay, Algiers continues to be the northern African city that most arouses its visitors’ curiosity, charm and magic. And now, on board M/v Funchal, is your time to find out why. Did you know that it’s impossible not to get lost in Algiers? With one of the largest Kasbahs in Africa, the city’s narrow alleys and numerous dead ends make it look like a real urban labyrinth. The country is known to have been inhabited since the 6th century by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, being successively occupied over the centuries, but nonetheless keeping its Mediterranean roots and strong ties with Europe. Now you know what to expect, what are youwaiting for to come and feel this vibrant city!

Andalusia is surely the ideal destination to make us dream with Arabian stories. Romantic landscapes with small villages dotted with white houses, bathed by a warm sun and cooling shade of the mountains and the Guadalquivir valley. The eight centuries of Arab history and occupation have granted Andalusia with a unique architecture, the best examples of which are the mosque in Córdoba or the Alcazar and Giralda in Seville. Feel like a sultan and become a part of the 1001 Arabian nights!

DISABLED PASSENGERS OR PASSENGERS WITH REDUCED MOBILITY The Company and the carrier’s priority is always your comfort and safety as well as complying with the strict legal requirements of the law relating to safety of life at sea as well as EU 1177/2010 on the Rights of Passengers when travelling by Sea. In order to achieve these objectives, you are asked at the time of booking and before boarding to provide as much detail as possible of the matters given below to the Company so that the carrier can consider its obligation to carry you in a safe and operationally feasible manner, taking into account any issues relating to the design of the ship or port infrastructure and equipment including port terminals which may make it impossible to carry out your embarkation, disembarkation or carriage which may therefore have an impact on your safety and comfort. You are asked to provide full details if you or anyone travelling with you is unwell, infirm, Disabled or has Reduce Mobility. You/they are asked to provide full details: a) If you/they require a Disabled cabin. The Ship has a limited number of such accessible staterooms available on a “first come first serve” basis; or b) If you/they have any special seating requirements, or c) If you/they need to bring any electrical or other medical equipment on board; or d) If you/they need to bring a recognized assistance dog on board the vessel. Please note that assistance dogs are subject to national certificate regulations. Where the Company or the carrier considers that it is strictly necessary it may require a Disabled Person or Person with Reduced Mobility to be accompanied by another person who is capable of providing the assistance required by the Disabled Person or Person with Reduced Mobility. This requirement will be based entirely on the carrier assessing the person’s need on grounds of safety and may vary from vessel to vessel and/or itinerary to itinerary. If you or anyone travelling with you has any particular conditions, Disability or Reduced Mobility which require personal care or supervision then such personal care or supervision must be organized by you/them and at your/their expense. The vessel is unable to provide respite services, one-to-one personal care or supervision or any other form of care for physical or psychiatric or other conditions. Portuscale Cruises may refuse to carry any person who has failed to adequately notify the Company/ Portuscale Cruises of any Disabilities or needs for assistance in order for the Carrier to make an informed assessment that the person can be carried in a safe and operationally feasible manner on the grounds of safety. If you or any person travelling with you become aware between the date of booking the cruise and the date of commencement of the cruise that you/they will require special care or assistance as detailed above then you/they are asked to inform the Company/ the carrier immediately so that the carrier can make an informed assessment whether or not you/they can be carried in a safe and operationally feasible manner. If after careful assessment of your or any person travelling with you their specific needs and requirements, the Company or the carrier conclude that you/they cannot be carried safely and in accordance with applicable safety requirements then the Company can refuse to accept a booking or the carrier can refuse embarkation of a Disabled Person or Person with Reduced Mobility on the grounds of safety. In those circumstances you will be entitled to request that the Company or the carrier provide the reasons to you in writing within 5 working days. Some ports of call are anchorage ports, and physical conditions of a Disabled Person or Person with reduced mobility may preclude them from going ashore. Wheelchairs cannot be accommodated in to tenders or other craft. Some Shore Excursions may not be suitable for Disabled Passengers or those with Reduced Mobility passengers must check at the time of booking. The decision will be made by the Captain of the Ship based on safety and is binding.

In order to comply with Safety of Life at Sea and other Regulations each cabin is limited to two pieces of medical and or mobility equipment to a combined total value of 2250 SDRs (approx. € 2.158,50). The Carrier can give permission in writing to allow these limits to be exceeded. The Carrier’s assessment will be based on safety and reasonableness. If you would like to bring a motorized wheelchair on board you must provide the dimensions as size limitations may apply and the ship may not be able to accommodate this request. MEDICAL EQUIPMENT It is your responsibility to notify the Company at the time of booking in writing if any person travelling needs to bring any medical equipment on board the ship. Full details of what type of equipment this might be must be provided so that the Company can inform the carrier in order that the Carrier can ensure that the medical equipment can be carried and/or carried safely.
