Celebrate Christmas in a truly special way aboard the Santa Maria Manuela, sailing between the islands of Madeira and Porto Santo. This unique voyage blends the festive spirit with the excitement of traditional sailing, creating unforgettable moments at sea and ashore.
Our journey begins in Funchal, where you’ll experience the iconic “Noite do Mercado” on December 23rd. This is one of Madeira’s most exciting nights, with streets filled with music, colors, and traditional flavors. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere, taste local delicacies, and enjoy the contagious energy of this unique celebration.
The following morning, we set sail for Porto Santo, enjoying the experience of sailing aboard this historic four-masted schooner. Upon arrival at the golden island, you can explore its serene landscapes, stroll along the 9 km stretch of fine sandy beach, or simply relax and take in the peaceful surroundings.
On our crossings from Funchal to Porto Santo and back, you are invited to take part in the sailing, learn about maritime traditions or simply simply enjoy the Christmas cheer between crew and passengers.
A truly unique and memorable way to celebrate the holidays!
