1. We’re All Inclusive as standard

Every ship in our fleet is All Inclusive as standard. That means all of your meals, selected draught beers, spirits and aperitifs, soft drinks, cocktails, and house wines are included in the cost of your sailing. And, the All Inclusive experience with Marella Cruises doesn’t stop there. Your flights, luggage, transfers, tips and service charges are all covered in the cost, too. So, you can book now knowing that everything is taken care of before you set sail.

2. We drop anchor in tonnes of destinations

We sail to over 100 destinations worldwide, so you can see the best spots across the globe. Visit Greece’s islands or watch postcard-perfect sunsets in Croatia. You can set sail from Majorca to tick off spots across Spain, Italy and France, or take off to explore some of the world’s best beaches in the Caribbean with our sailings from Barbados or the Dominican Republic. Plus, for a bit extra, you can explore the destination you’re visiting on one of our shore excursions, which showcase the best parts of our ports and their surrounding areas. You can get them sorted once you’ve booked your cruise, or let the Destination Services Team onboard your ship help find the right one for you.

3. The onboard entertainment

You’ll never be bored onboard a Marella Cruises ship – we’ve got activities to keep everyone happy. Our line-up of evening entertainment includes West End-style shows and stand-up comedians, plus live bands and cabaret acts. Or, if you’re after something low-key, we’ve got plenty of quiet spots where you can get cosy with a cocktail. Plus, during the day there are wine-tasting workshops, cookery demos, quizzes and game shows to keep you busy when you’re not off exploring.

We’ve got over two decades of cruising experience alongside TUI’s holiday expertise, so you can relax knowing everything is taken care of. And, from the moment you join us onboard, you can expect the warmest of welcomes from our friendly crew. We pride ourselves on our attentive service, so all you have to do is sit back and relax. Wherever you sail, we’ll always remember your name, give you a big smile and make you a proper cuppa.

5. You can book with a £100 deposit

Want to spread the cost of your cruise? Give yourself more time to pay with our low deposits. Depending on when you travel, your initial deposit will be from £100 per person, or from £150 per person if you’re travelling to faraway shores, and you’ll have 12 weeks to pay the rest of your deposit. Your full deposit amount depends on when and where you’re sailing from – you’ll find all the details on the payments page before you book.
