Madeira Shore Excursions | Featured in Cruise Critic

We are delighted to share some exciting news!

Madeira Sidecar Tours has been featured in Cruise Critic, one of the world’s leading cruise travel publications, in an article highlighting the unique experience of exploring Madeira by motorcycle and sidecar.

The article, written by cruise journalist Jeannine Williamson, shares her experience of discovering our beautiful island during a Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines visit aboard the Bolette.

It is a wonderful recognition of what we have always believed: Madeira is best discovered not only by seeing its attractions, but by experiencing its roads, landscapes, culture and authentic local atmosphere.
