MARELLA CRUISES Adventurous new itineraries, all-inclusive cruises and superb
service – there has never been a better time to sail with Marella Cruises
Why cruise with
Marella means ‘shining sea’ in Celtic and this perfectly sums up the cruise line — not only
is it their home but it's also where their spirit of adventure comes from and where their discoveries are made.
With two decades of sailing under its belt, the cruise line switched names from Thomson Cruises to Marella Cruises in 2017. But its philosophy that prioritises a warm welcome and top-rated service remains the same as ever.

The WHOLE PACKAGE
One of the most exciting changes Marella Cruises has recently undergone is transforming its entire
fleet of six ships into All Inclusive havens, so you can completely relax with the knowledge that there will be no bills to settle at the end of your holiday.
Part of TUI, the world’s largest travel group, the cruise line also places importance on its friendly and professional crew and service, and this never fails to go unnoticed among cruise-goers.

EVERYTHING’S INCLUDEDMarella Cruises offers great value for money with All Inclusive as standard across the entire fleet of six ships. This means you don’t have to worry about budgeting or any unexpected costs during your cruise.
Everything from flights and transfers to entertainment, food and drinks including alcoholic beverages is covered in the overall cost, and this includes a variety of dining options too, from buffet restaurants and grab-and-go spots to some of the waiter-service eateries.
Plus, unlike most other cruise lines, Marella Cruises also covers tips and service charges, eliminating the need for you to lug around extra cash.
Another highlight of All Inclusive cruising is that you don’t have to pay extra for onboard activities. Whether it’s an early morning exercise class or a late-night West End-style show, Marella Cruises ensures you’ll never run out of things to do on one of their sailings. Some facilities on select ships, such as the mini-golf courses and climbing walls, are part of the package, too.
SEAL OF APPROVALMarella Cruises prides itself on its warm and welcoming service – and the cruise line has been endorsed with the Good Housekeeping Reader Recommended stamp of approval. A whopping 90% of Marella customers surveyed said the cruise line’s service was good or excellent and they were impressed by staff recognising
them on a return visit. Plus 84% feel the crew went the extra mile when it came to taking care of them.
The relaxed atmosphere and sense of community spirit on board also stood out for those who travelled with Marella Cruises, with the chance to meet different people over dinner proving to be a highlight for many.
