However , for next year , the same table for cruise ships that have reserved space at the main port of Madeira 307 show bellboy . Translates over 15 vessels , representing an increase of just over 5 percent.
In the table there are two scales of the Seabourn Spirit in November 2014. However , we chose not to account for a query because the cruise company program , Seabourn , for next year realizes that the two dates of 19 and 20 November , the small ship will be sailing the Caribbean.

This same ship is scheduled to Madeira in the same month of November , on another scale 6 , inserted on a journey that will be precisely to head to that area of the central globe between North America and South

One last note to mention that the figures for January 2014 show two more ships , but be aware that they are vessels that fall within that going to be the end – of – year and therefore should not be taken in account of steamships will arrive in the new year .

Scales per month

Analysing the movement during the months of the year in January we noted that the numbers are similar : 32 cruise ships in 2013 and 33 in 2014 .
In February , there will be an increase . 19 pass for 27 . The same will happen in March , which will increase from 30 to 36 .
However , in the month of crossings of the Atlantic , with a good portion of the vessels they headed to the Mediterranean and Northern Europe , from 46 down to 41 . May also be reduced from 17 to 11 . As in June ( 4 to 5 ) and July ( 3 to 2 ) .


But in August will reverse as 4 cruise ships in 2013 will move to 6 .
In September , it will keep them 8 ships.
In October , will spend 27 to 39 .


However , the other month of the year in which they record the transatlantic movements , this time in the opposite direction to April , now heading to the Caribbean , the 54 steamships of 2013 will decrease to 48 .
And finally, in December of this year will spend 47 to 52 ships in the port of Funchal .
