Portuscale Cruises, the Lisbon based cruise shipping company, will operate a five night fado cruise in late summer 2015, the company says on its website.

The 9,870 gross ton Funchal will depart the port of Portimao in the southern part of Portugal on 27 August and call at Funchal and Porto Santo, both of which are located in the Madeira archipelago in the Atlantic, before returning to Portimao.

The cruise will feature performances by a leading group of fado artists and workshops etc, Portuscale said.
