FUNCHAL in Lisbon 2009-04-05



The FUNCHAL looking very beautiful arriving from Tangiers on 5 April 2009 showing her new profile. The FUNCHAL was launched in Elsinore, Denmark, for Empresa Insulana in 1961 and is one of the oldest cruise ships still trading under her original name and flag. She is still very popular so Classic International Cruises decided to spend more money on her to make it possible to continue cruising after SOLAS 2010.

Um sobrevivente.
De uma elegância cada vez mais rara nos tempos hodiernos.

It's wonderful to see her looking so good.

Muitas viagens fiz a bordo do Funchal, obrigatórias,então,para quem vivia nos Açores.
Já agora alguém sabe do destino do Ponta Delgada, após sair de Alcântara?
Estou curioso. Bem procurei, mas desapareceu da minha vista.
