The Ocean Victory cruise ship has already left the port of Funchal and is now heading to Montevideo, Uruguay, where it will begin its winter operation.
This crossing marks the repositioning of the ship for the South American season, during which it will explore itineraries different from the usual European circuit.
The Ocean Victory, it should be remembered, was in the news for being the longest Funchal harbour stopover, having arrived on the 3rd of July and only leaving this evening(18th of October).
Built in 2021, Ocean Victory is a luxury expedition ship, designed to sail remote and environmentally sensitive destinations such as Antarctica.
Its extended stay in Madeian waters reinforces the role of the Region as a strategic port for logistical and technical support in the Atlantic.
