ON BOARD M/V

CEO’s Welcome
Portuscale Cruises is a new cruise company, which started operating in 2013 following the acquisition and revamping of four classic and charming vessels. The company’s motto is “small is beautiful”. After a lengthy refit, M/V Funchal, an icon in the maritime industry, has been operating since the summer of 2013. M/V Porto is a small, delightfully charming and cozy ship. M/V Lisboa, has a wonderful classic performance and magnificent deck areas and finally we have the recently rebuilt solid and modern M/V Azores. As the most symbolic vessel of our fleet and of the history of Portugal, the emblematic and fully rebuilt M/V Funchal is the ship which will be connecting Portugal’s ocean with a number of cruises in 2014, departing from Lisbon, Porto and Portimão to different destinations including Morocco, the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Mediterranean and Norway, to name but a few. Being mostly Portuguese, our friendly crew is there to offer our guests the pleasures of a personalized service, delicious gastronomy and excellent atmosphere in our different bars, entertainment and leisure activities. Portuscale Cruises operates its cruises in a sustainable manner, primarily focusing on a personalized service, experience and its passengers’ safety. Welcome on board! Best regards, Rui Alegre CEO

Because we want you to make the most of your trip, this is your turn to play the role of Vasco da Gama and set off to explore, adventure yourself and discover.

welcome ON BOARD FUNCHAL M/V
Grand Lady M/V Funchal began her career as the Portuguese Presidential Yacht, and now totally rebuilt and upgraded to offer 4* plus accommodation and every modern comfort she is even more charming and welcoming than ever before. At 10,000 gross tons, this classic cruise liner enjoys a beautiful profile, charming interiors, and sheltered promenade decks, and she is renowned for her yacht-like ambience.

All around the world, along the magnificent South American coastline, in the Arctic circle, the Norwegian Fjords, the Black Sea, the Red Sea, Australia and the Far East the M/V Funchal stands out as one of the finest examples of classic small ship cruise liners, creating a cruise experience which is increasingly sought after by many regular cruise passengers.

An exploration cruise that will take you almost to the top of the world. Half way between Norway and the North Pole, the atmosphere and climate can be magnificent, with a very rich fauna and very friendly locals. So embark on M/V Funchal to discover one of the planet’s most developed countries, the waters of the Arctic, the northernmost territories and the great wildlife. Following the signing of the Svalbard Treaty in 1920, this archipelago was integrated in the kingdom of Norway. Today, its major industries are scientific research, tourism and mining. In Longyearbyen you will find UNIS - University Centre of Svalbard and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a secure seed bank that stores three million types of seeds that will ensure plant diversity on a worldwide level in the event of extinction of these species. Definitely a unique and marvelous experience that combines the virgin desert with good life. One of the world’s few surviving wild areas awaits you: come and experience the Arctic at its best!

LISBON • FALMOUTH • BILBAO • BORDEAUX • LA ROCHELLE • HONFLEUR • ST. MARY • FALMOUTH • LISBON This unique cruise has got it all! So many cruises are keen to chase the sun and get as far south as quickly as possible that they overlook what is directly on our doorstep and on the shores of the beautiful Bay of Biscay. But don’t worry — our choice of departure date in the peak summer month of August will mean that you are still able to enjoy the sun even whilst exploring all that these charming and varied ports of call have to offer! We’ll take you to the Norman port of Honfl eur where you can take optional trips to explore the beaches and memorials in this 70th Anniversary year of the D Day Landings, or to Monet’s Water Garden in Giverny, to the Basque city of Bilbao close to Spain´s celebrated Rioja vineyards, to Tresco and St Mary’s in the Isles of Scilly where you can visit the world famous Tresco Abbey Gardens, and to La Rochelle and Bordeaux on France’s Atlantic coast, where you can sample some of the wine and seafood for which this region is so rightly world renowned. There is something for everyone in this cruise, whether you are interested in wine, in gardens, in art or in military history or indeed all of these whilst having a delightful and relaxing time on board the “friendliest ship afloat”.

Cartagena, a modern port and commercial city, rich in history, culture and architecture, preserves the ruins of the period when the Romans dominated the region. Founded in the third century BC, the city is home to Spain’s oldest port which is currently also the country’s major port. Another option is to visit Murcia, a settlement founded by the Moors in the IXth century and conquered POLOGNE by the Christians in the XIIIth century. It was 8 million years ago that the Balearic Islands emerged from the sea. Born at the same time was the island of Ibiza, the third largest Balearic Island, boasting the most beautiful beaches in the UKRAINE Mediterranean. Worldwide known for its vibrant nightlife, and although it still has some of the hippy charm inherited from the 60’s, it has since become much more cosmopolitan and cool. The island was granted world heritage status by UNESCO in 1999. Find out why it is called White Island and have lots of fun!

Lisbon . Pnta Delgada . Horta . Praia da Vitória . Lisbon There is no better way to get to know the archipelago’s five islands on one single trip and in maximum comfort!

Embark on this cruise and enrich your culture as the ship calls at different ports whose history and culture are the cruise’s main attraction. With the exception of “Castelo de Bellver”, Palma’s most important monuments are concentrated in its historic centre. The small Island of Pantelleria has been a very well kept secret by Italian socialites. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the capital of Malta is an intersection of cultures that gave life to the heart of the Mediterranean. Catania, dynamic and full of energy, surprises visitors with the richness of its historic centre and unique layers of solidified lava on the slopes of Mount Etna. In Messina, don’t miss a tour of Taormina. In Palermo, home of many poets and philosophers, you’ll be simply astonished with its byzantine and Arab-style monuments. Lipari, situated in the largest Aeolian Islands, was a safe haven for one of the world’s most famous pirates, Barbarossa. Sailing around Stromboli will give you a unique opportunity to watch one of the most violent nature shows, a POLOGNE ALLEMAGNE volcano eruption. Olbia, a multi-faceted city, with beaches of an extraordiBELGIQUE as a Biosphere Reserve by nary beauty. Peaceful, beautiful and classified UNESCO, Menorca has only idyllic landscapes and beaches where the sun shines more than 2.700 hours per year. Is there a better way to end a cruise?

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: • 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 • If you/they have any special seating requirements, or • If you/they need to bring any electrical or other medical equipment on board; or • 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.
