In this video, I’m cruising with Costa Cruises, onboard Costa Diadema. I’m on this cruise as part of a 14-night cruise around parts of Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, including the Canary Islands. Today, let me take you ashore in a beautiful port of call (Funchal, Madeira) to show you what it’s like to visit here. This is my second time visiting the island (I was last here on P&O Azura back in December), so I already know it’s going to be such a great port day. As a result of being here before, I also know exactly what I want to do today but, frustratingly, it doesn’t go to plan…!!
