2020 Updates
01-12-2020: Passengers on board of the cargo ship Funchalense 5
Obviously, due to the pandemic, 2020 was not a good year to restore any official passenger ferry connections between Madeira and Portugal.
Some people have been mentioning a possibility to travel on board of a GSLINES container ship “Funchalense 5” ( SEE ARTICLE ), however, currently, this isn’t an option either. We have contacted GSLINES for more information, but as advised by the Commercial Assistant: “Unfortunately due to COVID19 the voyages aboard our cargo ships are suspended indefinitely”.
Previously, up to 7 passengers were accepted on board of this cargo vessel and could travel in one of its cabins. The price was 140 euro per person.
This post will be updated as soon as there are any developments or news regarding new ferry connections between any place in Europe & Madeira. Please subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on our social media to stay up to date:

I wanted to go Madeira from Portugal at end March 2020 with the motorbike. Afterward wanted to go onward through Canary Islands. Is this possible, does the ferry Mainland to Madeira run?
Hello Azme, as far as I know, there are no positive news about the ferry connection with Madeira. Most probably, there won’t be any ferry, and especially not in March… 🙁
Any news on the ferry for the end of September till the end of October 2020 from Funchal to Santa Cruz / Tenerife?
Hello Bjoern, I highly doubt there will be any ferry connections this year.
