Cayman Cultural Express

This half-day tour lets you get to grips with Grand Cayman’s main cultural hotspots in one fell swoop. After leaving from the pier in an air-conditioned coach, you’ll take a scenic drive along the south coast, as your guide fills you in on the history of the island and its people. Your first stop is Pedro’s Castle – an 18th-century plantation house that went on to serve as the meeting place for Grand Cayman’s first elected parliament. After a guided tour, you’ll head on to the original capital of the Cayman Islands – Bodden Town. Here, you’ll stop at the Botanical Gardens. This real-life Garden of Eden is bursting with exotic plants and reptiles – even the endangered blue iguana lives here. Once you’ve had a good stroll around the grounds, it’s time to head back to the pier and meet your ship.

Atlantis Submarine

On this trip, the phrase sub-standard views has a positive meaning. After boarding the Atlantis Submarine, you’ll dive to a depth of 100 foot to explore the sea bed. This is deeper than any beginners’ scuba dive would take you. From the portals on either side of your vessel, you’ll be able to look out on Grand Cayman’s marine park. Shoals of mercury-coloured tarpon and schools of silverside fish make regular appearances in the water here, as do muscly grouper fish. If you’re lucky, you’ll also catch a stingray or a sea turtle cutting a course through the water. The highlight of the trip has to be the World Famous Cayman Wall. It boasts to be the best dive site in the world, with a host of different coloured coral. And with moray eels, lobsters and plenty of tropical fish its pretty impressive stuff.

Cruise along Seven Mile Beach

You’ll be able to ogle Grand Cayman’s most popular sandy strip, Seven Mile Beach, during this laidback cruise. After meeting your guide at the port, you’ll stroll over to the nearby marina where your boat will be waiting. Once on board, you’ll set sail along the island’s western coastline. During the journey, you’ll be able to chat to the skipper about the island’s history, top up your tan on the deck and sip on a chilled fruit or rum punch. After a few hours, you’ll start to make your way back to the port. On the way, you’ll dock at George Town’s main shopping area, where you’ll be able to head off and shop for souvenirs. Nautical-themed antiques, leather bags and bottles of rum are all popular picks here.

Surf & Turf Steakhouse

As its name suggests, this à la carte eatery specialises in the likes of marbled steaks and meaty lobster tails. You’ve also got other meat and fish options, as well as plenty to satisfy a vegetarian palate. This is one of the ship's speciality restaurants, so there's a charge to dine here – plus, we recommend you make a reservation in advance.

47°

Marella Discovery 2’s main eatery is a big, stylish venue, finished in the colours of the sand and the sea. Daytime meals here come with a side-order of sea views, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, and a grand double staircase leads up to a separate eatery.

Gallery 47°

You’ll find this trendy Italian restaurant on the second floor of the ship’s main dining room, 47°. It’s a laid-back place, where bookings aren’t necessary, and its designer look features a colour scheme inspired by the sunset.

Havana Highlights

Vintage American cars purring through the streets. Mile-high murals of revolutionary icons. Camera-worthy colonial monuments. If you’re looking for Havana in a nutshell, this is the trip for you. You get the real ‘rum and cigar’ authenticity of this crumbling capital topped and tailed by tours of the best bits. Your day starts in the modern quarter where sights like El Capitolio – the bigger, younger sister of the White House in America’s Washington DC, and the Malecon – the city’s famous seafront promenade await. You’ll also see Plaza de la Revolución, Revolution Square, where Fidel Castro famously addressed millions of Cubans. Then it’s on to a cigar shop, of course cigars have been synonymous with Cuba for many years now. From here you’ll head to a viewpoint over Castillo del Moro for a cocktail in a bar before setting off on a guided walking tour of Havana Old Town, Habana Vieja. This UNESCO-protected part of town is real time warp stuff. All faded Spanish mansions and plazas lined with grand old churches, it’s a dusty 1950s nostalgia kick.

Cabaret Tropicana - A Paradise Under The Stars

Paris got the Moulin Rouge, New York got Studio 54, and Havana got the Tropicana. This world-famous club is the city’s epicentre of glitz and glamour and a must for theatre and cabaret-lovers. All the acts perform, sing in Spanish & dance on an open-air stage cocooned by tropical greenery. As well as your seat, this tour entitles you to a small welcome glass of sparkling wine and a bit of Havana Club rum to enjoy throughout the performance.

Hemingway in Havana

Ernest Hemingway made Havana his main home in the early 1930s and today, the author is as synonymous with this city as the mojitos he used to drink here. This half-day tour is a great way to follow in his footsteps. Your day kicks off with a scenic drive through Cojimar, a fishing village that inspired Hemingway to pen ‘The Old Man and the Sea’. Next, it’s on to Finca Vigia – Hemingway’s one-time home and now the site of a museum dedicated to him. Although we can’t go inside - you can view the interior through the windows to see how it has been preserved just as the family left it with his personal belongings which really bring the place to life. Then, rounding things off, you’ll head to two of Hemmingway’s favourite watering holes, the iconic La Bodeguita del Medio in central Havana, famous haunt of the author’s, this atmospheric drinking den is rumoured to be the birthplace of the mojito, and La Floridita AKA the cradle of the daiquiri.

Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins

The pyramid of El Castillo was built to stop people in their tracks. And, almost 20 centuries after it was built, it’s still doing its job. You’ll get to experience the effect yourself on this guided tour around Chichen Itza. This Mayan city was built between 750 and 1200 AD. And El Castillo is just one of the ruined buildings that still stand strong here. You’ll also see the Temple of Warriors, which is gilded with statues and symbolism. And you’ll see the Great Ball Court, where the Mayans used to host spectator sports. As you walk around, your guide will explain the meanings hidden in the architecture and layout of the ancient city. Then you’ll have some time to explore for yourself. Once you’re familiar with the site, you’ll head to a local restaurant for lunch. Mexican food hasn’t changed that much since Mayan times. Rice, beans, tortillas and spice were eaten then as they are now. Your lunch will feature a few modern additions, though, like cochinita-style pork, lime soup and Yucatan barbecued chicken.

Tulum Mayan Ruins & Beach

This tour starts with a scenic coach drive to the famous ruins of Tulum. Centred on a soaring Castillo temple fringed by snaking stone walls, the relics once made up a flourishing Mayan port. Don’t miss the murals inside the ‘Templo de los Frescos’, an ancient observatory. Spectacular sights aside, what really sets Tulum apart from the crowd is its location. The ancient walled city was once called Zama, or ‘dawn’, and it’s a fitting title. Perched on wave-beaten cliffs, it overlooks the Caribbean Sea, so fantastic views stretch out into the horizon, and the sunsets are something else. Once you’ve taken it all in, you’ll head back to Playa del Carmen for some free time before returning to the ship.

Tulum & Xel-Ha

You’ll get to see 2 of the most elite addresses of Mayan times on this trip. Built in 1200 AD, the ancient city of Tulum crowns a 12-metre cliff, and the whole site looks out over the Caribbean Sea. Of all the structures here, your guide will focus on 3 in particular. The Temple of the Frescoes was used as an ancient observatory, The Temple of the Descending God was a homage to Venus, and The Castle was built in the image of the main pyramid at Chichen Itza. When you’ve seen the sights of Tulum, you’ll move on to Xel Ha. Back in the 1st century, this was an important Mayan port and it used to attract traders from around the Americas. These days, it’s a natural aquarium, and people come here to splash about. Snorkelling and for an extra charge, swim with dolphins are just two of the things you can do here.

ADD a stay to your cruise in Jamaica, Jamaica

All the Caribbean stereotypes are present and correct in Jamaica. Along the coast, you’ve got white sands fringed by palms, and ramshackle beach bars serving up jerk chicken to Bob Marley beats. Inland, meanwhile, hidden waterfalls, banana plantations and soaring mountains vie for your attention. Best of all, the scenery is served up alongside Jamaica’s famous take-it-easy vibe. And, with the mercury hovering around the 30s for most of the year, it’s always a good time to visit Jamaica.

To book your Cruise & Stay holiday, you’ll need to select Cruise & Stay as part of your search. Once you’ve chosen your itinerary, you can then choose one of our properties, which range from luxurious TUI BLUE SENSATORI resorts and our adults-only TUI BLUE FOR TWO collection to budget-friendly TUI SUNEO hotels.
