All-Inclusive Value

One of the biggest draws of Marella Cruises is the all-inclusive pricing structure, which covers most onboard expenses. This typically includes meals, drinks (including alcoholic beverages), flights, transfers, gratuities, and entertainment. It means guests can relax knowing that nearly everything is taken care of in advance, with no surprise costs at the end of the cruise.

Marella also regularly features excellent promotional deals, such as onboard credit, upgrades, and discounts for early bookings or last-minute getaways, making them an attractive option for value-conscious cruisers.

Destinations and Itineraries

Marella Cruises offers an impressive variety of itineraries across Europe, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Asia. From exploring the cultural treasures of the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands to discovering exotic ports in the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia, there’s a Marella cruise for every type of traveller.

Itineraries range from short sailings to extended voyages, with many offering overnight stays in port to allow more time for exploration. With a fly-cruise model, passengers can join their ship from regional UK airports and start their adventure sooner.

Shore Excursions

Marella Cruises offers a range of shore excursions designed to suit every interest, whether it’s history, nature, culture, or adrenaline. These guided experiences are led by knowledgeable local experts and can include city tours, beach days, wine tasting, snorkelling, and archaeological site visits. Independent travellers can also explore ports at their leisure with tips and guidance from Marella’s destination services team.

Many itineraries include lesser-visited ports, giving guests the chance to discover authentic experiences beyond the usual tourist spots. Marella also offers accessible excursions for guests with limited mobility.

Wellness and Relaxation

Guests can unwind in Marella’s onboard spas, which offer a variety of treatments including massages, facials, and beauty therapies. The well-equipped gyms and fitness studios provide group classes such as yoga, pilates, and aerobics. Relaxing by the pool, enjoying a dip in the whirlpool, or sipping a cocktail at the sun deck bar are perfect ways to spend a sea day.

There are also adults-only areas and quiet zones for those seeking a more peaceful retreat, as well as saunas and steam rooms in the spa facilities.
