happyspouses Posted August 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2014 We will be taking the Douro River Wine Country River Cruise with Vantage Travel in Oct. 2015 aboard the Douro Spirit. There is a 4 day/3 night pre-trip extension available to Madeira, Portugal. Any helpful information or recommendations on whether we should consider this extension?

Ship's Wake Posted August 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Madeira is a lovely island and Funchal a very pretty city. We have been fortunate to have stopped there twice on trans-Atlantic cruises. If you have the time and funds, I would recommend you strongly consider adding on the extension. There is a wealth of information on Madeira on the cruise ports forum. Here is a link to threads that discuss Madeira: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/search.php?searchid=53523428 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquilegia Posted August 7, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Madeira is a lovely island, very green and with a good climate all year round. We have been fortunate enough to spend several winter holidays there. If you have the opportunity to spend some time there, I would certainly advise you to take it.
