Dining
Dining-wise, there are eight eateries for you to choose from, including the main restaurant, 47°, which is spread across two stories, and three speciality eateries which serve everything from Mediterranean to Asian cuisine. Two of the latter are on the top deck, so the sea views are some of the best on the ship. There are plenty of between-meal options, too, including the Snack Shack, which serves things like burgers, hotdogs and fries throughout the day. If it’s cakes and pastries you’re yearning for, 47° also hosts The Great Musical Afternoon Tea every week – all of the food here’s themed after a famous musical.






Gallery 47°
You’ll find this trendy Italian restaurant on the second floor of the ship’s main dining room. It’s a laid-back place, where bookings aren’t necessary, and its designer look features a colour scheme inspired by the sunset.
Features
- Experience: Complimentary
- Food type: Italian








47°
The main restaurant is a big, stylish venue, finished in the colours of the sand and the sea. The modern menu consists of home favourites and international flavours, and meals come with a side-order of sea views, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. It also hosts The Great Musical Afternoon Tea, for an extra charge. This weekly event brings the West End to Marella Cruises, with dishes inspired by famous musicals – like the ‘Vietnamese Melody’ beef tenderloin yakitori and the ‘On My Own’ petit choux. There are six teas to choose from, as well as a cocktail of your choice. Plus, the whole place is decorated with show posters and memorabilia.
