Why choose Marella Cruises
'Marella’ means ‘shining sea’ in Celtic and indeed guests can sail all over the world, from Mediterranean beaches to time-stamped Asian temples. There's the option to fly from 24 regional UK airports, or set sail from the UK. The growing fleet covers everything from family-friendly to adults-only ships.
Plus, unlike many cruise lines, Marella Cruises include tipping and service charges in our prices, so you don’t have to worry about paying extra. They like to keep things nice and flexible, too. Book a Cruise & Stay holiday, for instance – and your cruise package will include a hotel stay.
A whopping 90 percent of Marella customers said the service was very good or excellent – and were impressed by how staff recognised them on a return visit.
