Islands

Dine here onboard Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2.  

This buffet restaurant is open all day, so it’s a great place to head if you fancy a snack once you’ve returned from exploring on dry land. It’s all about show cooking here, so you can see your breakfast omelette or carvery roast being prepped while you wait. And if you head here for dinner, you’ll get to watch live entertainment while you’re tucking in.

The Mediterranean

Dine here onboard Marella Explorer.

The Mediterranean lines up some of the freshest flavours from the Med at lunch and dinnertime. We’re talking everything from Spanish tapas plates to Portuguese-style skewers and pasta and pizza plates from Italy. Tastebuds tingling yet? We thought so. The restaurant’s fitted with an outdoor terrace, so you can soak up the sea views while you dine.

Kora La

Dine here onboard Marella Discovery, Marella Discovery 2, Marella Explorer, Marella Explorer 2 and Marella Voyager.

Kora La is a firm favourite with our customers, that’s why you’ll find it onboard every ship in our fleet. It’s the place to go for noodle and curry dishes from Asia. There are also bespoke dishes created by master chef Ian Pengelley exclusively for Marella Cruises on the menu. Just so you know, this is one of our speciality restaurants, so you’ll need to pay a little extra to dine here. Top tip – book in advance, so you don’t miss out.

Abuela’s

Dine here onboard Marella Voyager.

Abuela’s brings a taste of Mexico to the newest member of our fleet – Marella Voyager. It’s open for lunch and dinner and has a menu filled with Mexico’s tastiest dishes, including tacos and nachos.

The Dining Club

Dine here onboard Marella Explorer and Marella Explorer 2.

Celebrating a special occasion, or just want to treat yourself? Cue The Dining Club. This restaurant takes fine dining to new levels. Even the butter comes infused with Champagne. It also plays host to ‘The Great Musical Afternoon Tea’ which lines up dishes inspired by musicals – the ‘On my Own’ petit choux usually goes down a treat. It’s from Les Miserables, just in case the penny hasn’t dropped. Like Kora La, The Dining Club is one of our speciality restaurants, so you’ll need to pay a little extra to dine here.
