Day 10 New Year’s Eve - Funchal, Madeira (overnight) Madeira is a sea of colour and glorious perfumes from the subtropical flowers and fruit that bathe in year-round sunshine. Why not visit the array of parks and gardens, or discover the laurel forest - a unique subtropical forest. This evening we watch from the decks of our ship as the skies of Funchal are set ablaze with colourful fireworks - considered one of the world’s largest New Year’s Eve firework displays, they are the perfect way to celebrate new beginnings in style.
