Cruising made easy

All our cruises are All Inclusive as standard, which means your meals, drinks, and a bunch of activities and entertainment are all included. Your flights and transfers are part of the package, too. So, whether you’re sailing around the Mediterranean or island hopping in the Caribbean, you can relax knowing the essentials are sorted.

Food and drink

You’ll get access to at least six different restaurants onboard as part of your All Inclusive cruise package, serving everything from British comfort food to Italian classics. The line-up always includes a buffet spot, apart from on Marella Voyager, where there’s a food hall made up of eight different eateries. A waiter-service spot serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with sea views is also included. As for drinks, our standard All Inclusive package includes a great selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. There are bottled and draught beers, ciders, wines, cocktails, mocktails, soft drinks and fruit juices, plus we’ve got a selection of non-alcoholic beers, ciders and wines. Here are some of the venues you’ve got to look forward to…

Latitude 53. Latitude 53’s the main restaurant on Marella Explorer, Marella Explorer 2 and Marella Voyager. It’s all waiter service here, and floor-to-ceiling windows mean the views are top class. Menu-wise, expect traditional dishes with a modern twist. This place is also at the heart of our weekly Dress to Impress night (when everyone gets glammed up). Just so you know, the main dining room on Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2 is called 47°.View the Dress to Impress night menu at Latitude 53.

Gallery 47°

You’ll find this classy Italian restaurant on the second floor of the main dining room, and there’s a similar spot on every ship (it’s called Vista on Marella Explorer, Marella Explorer 2 and Marella Voyager). The menu changes part-way through each seven-night sailing, and includes authentic Italian dishes plus regional favourites.

Piccadilly’s

This British restaurant’s tucked away inside the main dining room, too, and serves up a little slice of home with a side order of sea views at dinnertime. You’ll find it on every ship in our fleet, and the menu changes part-way through each seven-night sailing, giving you even more chances to try something new.

Squid & Anchor

Squid & Anchor – which you’ll find on all our ships – is designed to look like a traditional British pub, and lines up a drinks menu to match. In the evenings, you can catch everything from live bands and musicians to interactive game shows and quizzes here, too.

Entertainment and activities

It’s not just your food and drink that’s included in the price of your cruise – there’s also loads to keep you busy that doesn’t cost any extra. Each ship has a slightly different activities and entertainment offering, and inclusions vary by sailing, but here’s a taste of what you could be getting up to onboard…

Entertainment

From West End-style shows and gameshows to guest acts like comedians, pianists and tribute bands, there’s always something to keep you entertained on our ships. You can catch the likes of cooking demos and cultural talks, too, while teens can party at a neon silent disco. And our crew give you an insight into what goes on behind the scenes, with things like Captain Q&As and ‘meet the show cast’ events.

Activities

Activity-wise, you can keep things low-key with Crafts Ahoy – our hosted arts and crafts sessions, relax with Ocean Reset – our soundscape audio session, or unleash your competitive side with bingo, quizzes and trivia. There are deck parties and sailaway parties on the cards, as well, and if you fancy a late-night dance, you’ve got the likes of silent discos and karaoke. Plus, our crew organise social meet-ups for solo travellers.

Sports and fitness

You can challenge your friends or family to games of table tennis, minigolf, shuffleboard or darts, or join in with aqua aerobics and water volleyball in the pool. Teens get their own fun active programme – Tech Fit – in The Hideout. And there’s even a jogging track on the top deck on every ship, so you can have a go at beating your PB without even stepping ashore.

Discover All Inclusive cruises with one of our cruise experts

Matthew – Product Development Manager

"Make sure you tune into the Cruise Director channel on your cabin’s TV each evening. Your Cruise Director will share the highlights for the following day, along with their top tips on what not to miss. With so much included, from West End-style shows and live music to activities, quizzes and special events, it's the best way to plan ahead and make the most of your time onboard."

Richard – Commercial Partnerships & Ancillaries Manager

“I always recommend upgrading to Premium All Inclusive when booking your cruise. From my morning coffee at Coffee Port to a wider selection of wines, spirits and soft drinks throughout the day, it allows me to enjoy every moment without worrying about extra costs. And you'll get the best price by upgrading before you sail.”

Luke – Senior Food & Beverage Development Manager

“If you want to treat yourself to something beyond what’s included in your All Inclusive package, my top tip is to book speciality restaurants before you sail. Booking in advance means you can look forward to those special meals you really don’t want to miss, while still having plenty of opportunities to discover something new along the way.”

Standard vs Premium All Inclusive

Upgrade to Premium All Inclusive, and you’ll be able to pick from a wider selection of drinks onboard without ever reaching for your wallet. You’ll get the best price if you upgrade before you travel. You can do this at the time of booking, online or at your local TUI Store, or by calling us on 0203 451 268. Here’s what you’ll get.

Standard

Our standard All Inclusive package includes selected draught beers and ciders like Amstel and Strongbow, plus bottles and cans. Selected wines by the glass, standard spirits and aperitifs are part of the package, as well. You can even pick from non-alcoholic beers and ciders, like Heineken 0%. Cocktails like Mai Tais and Long Island Iced Teas are on the menu, too, as well as soft drinks, including mocktails and fruit juices. Just so you know, the exact brands on offer may vary.

Premium

Choose Premium All Inclusive, and you’ll get upgraded mocktails and cocktails, like mojitos and margaritas, plus premium gins, rums and tequilas, and a wider selection of draught and bottled beers and ciders, wines, whiskies and brandies. Old Mout cider, Brewdog Punk IPA and Sailor Jerry’s Spiced rum are some of the latest additions to the line-up. You’ll also get canned soft drinks, and most drinks from The Coffee Port are included, too. Just so you know, the exact brands on offer may vary.

Something special

There’s plenty included as standard on a Marella cruise. But if you fancy pushing the boat out, you can order Treat Yourself dishes – like sirloin steak or pan-roasted seabass – from our main restaurant menus, or book meals in our speciality restaurants, for a little extra. Take The Dining Club, for example. This contemporary French eatery takes the staples up a notch – the menu ticks off the likes of seared scallops in Champagne butter, lobster and peach souffle. Or, there’s Silver Fork, which serves creative twists on British classics.
