Creator's Key Takeaways

Welcome, and thank you for clicking on this week's trip's video of the only port of call I encountered on my 11 night transatlantic crossing aboard Royal Caribbean's adventure of the seas from Barcelona to Port Canaveral, Florida.

I just love this town. I hope you're enjoying it as well. Next time I come here, I plan on staying a few days, so I won't be doing it by a cruise

I love walking through the old town of Fanchcha. All the restaurants and the music and the people and the beautiful mosaic streets.

The views on that ride were certainly worth the price of admission.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always ask a crew member before you get off the ship to know when you got to be back on board.
Take a few days to explore Funchal instead of just a cruise port of call.

YouTube Video Description

As the only port of call on an 11 night transatlantic cruise from Barcelona, Spain to Port Canaveral, FL, Funchal on the Portuguese archipelago of Madeira was absolutely stunning! This trip was aboard Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas. This is definitely one place I hope to visit again for a much longer stay than a cruise port of call. I did this trip solo and took the Citysightseeing Hop on Hop off Bus to Pico dos Barcelos for amazing views of the island. Then on to the enchanting fishing village of Camara de Lobos where Churchill once visited to paint the beautiful harbor. Then down the coast to Old Town Funchal with its wonderful mosaic stoned pedestrian zones surrounded by sidewalk cafes, stunning churches, and a beautiful beach and waterfront. Last stop was at the Funchal Telerifico (Cable Cars) for sweeping views of the city , the mountains, and the curvy coastline. 00:00 Intro 04:33 Ho Ho Bus 09:02 Pico dos Barcelos 11:24 Camara de Lobos 18:37 Ride along the Coast 22:29 Walk about the Old Town 25:49 Telerifico Cable Cars 31:35 Outro #madeira #funchal #cablecar #citysightseeing #hoponhopoff #solocruise #portugal #archipelago #solotravel @RixTrips Website: www.RixTrips.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg9eVnKxw4yNiLLGF2eZ3Zg?sub_confirmation=1
