Vow renewals onboard
Picture this – you're on a Marella ship sailing across the sea, about to renew your wedding vows with your nearest and dearest around you. The sun’s shining and the gleaming ocean is the perfect backdrop. The captain’s conducting your ceremony, making the whole thing extra special, and there’s a line-up of top-notch food and drink waiting for you to tuck in to after you’ve said ‘I do’. What better way to celebrate your relationship?

Pick your package
Silver package
When you opt for the Silver package, all the basics are covered – think a Musical Afternoon Tea, a sparkling wine toast after the ceremony, a professional photo and a cake. You’ll get a bouquet of flowers and a buttonhole, plus a bottle of Champagne will be waiting for you in your cabin. You’ll get a discount to use in selected shops onboard, too.
Gold package
You’ll get a few more add-ons with the Gold package. Your day’s made extra special with canapés after your service, you’ll get three items of clothing per person pressed onboard, and you can tuck in to a meal in one of our speciality restaurants – Kora La or Surf & Turf Steakhouse.
Platinum package
If you want to really crank up the luxury, the Platinum package is for you. You get everything that’s included in the Gold package, plus a couples’ massage in the spa, photos taken by our photographers, a Champagne upgrade on our Musical Afternoon Tea, a couples’ breakfast in bed, and an invite to an exclusive onboard event.
