About Funchal, Madeira
Madeira, formed by volcanic activity and situated about 500 miles west of Casablanca in the Gulf Stream, was discovered in 1419 by Portuguese explorer João Gonçalves Zarco. The island takes its name from the dense forests that once covered it—‘Madeira’ means ‘wood’ in Portuguese. Initially, sugar plantations brought prosperity, and later, when King Charles II of England granted an exclusive wine trade licence, many British settlers arrived in the capital, Funchal. Today, Madeira attracts travellers with its lush, varied landscapes—from vine-covered mountain slopes to charming villages bursting with wildflowers. Known by many as ‘The Floating Garden of the Atlantic’, ‘The Island of Eternal Springtime’ and ‘God’s Botanical Gardens’, Madeira’s natural beauty is truly captivating. Cruise excursions offer visitors the chance to explore its spectacular scenery and rich heritage, making it a memorable stop on any Atlantic voyage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the ‘Worry-Free Shore Excursion’ on some of the excursions?
Viator’s Worry-Free Shore Excursion policy means that if your tour runs late and you miss your ship, they’ll arrange transport to the next port at no additional cost to you. This offer applies only to shore excursions specifically marked with the ‘Worry-Free’ badge on Viator. When you use FindMyExcursions, we help match you with these eligible tours where available, so you can book with confidence knowing you're covered if unexpected delays occur.

What are the risks of booking with third-party providers?
When you book excursions independently (i.e., outside of the cruise line), you’re responsible for managing your time ashore. If you miss the ship’s departure, the cruise will not wait, and you’ll have to make your own way to the next port.
That’s why FindMyExcursions only features tours that fit within your port timings, with enough buffer to get you back in good time. Many also offer port pick-up/drop-off for added convenience and peace of mind. You get all the flexibility of third-party booking, with smart, cruise-specific filtering built in.
Will I get a refund if the ship doesn’t dock or our itinerary changes?
If your ship is unable to dock or your itinerary changes at short notice, most tour providers on Viator offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. However, cancellations within 24 hours usually aren't refundable. We recommend checking each tour’s cancellation policy before booking, as they can vary. Also, having comprehensive cruise travel insurance is key. Some policies may cover missed ports or excursions, but this usually depends on the circumstances and how much notice the cruise line provided. We’re not qualified to offer legal or financial advice so always check the fine print of your policy or speak to your insurer for specifics.
