Marella Cruises
Marella Cruises – formerly Thomson Cruises - is to add a fifth ship to its fleet in 2023. Having parted with Marella Celebration and Marella Dream during the pandemic, the line is to acquire Mein Schiff Herz from the parent TUI Group and convert it into Marella Voyager.
The new addition, originally from the same Celebrity Cruises Century-Class as Marella Explorer and Explorer 2, will feature two new venues for Marella – a Mexican diner and a secret speakeasy bar.

Day 1
Santa Cruz de La Palma
In the annals of maritime lore, Santa Cruz de La Palma stands as a testament to resilience and exploration. Its cobbled streets whisper tales of seafaring adventurers and bustling trade routes. Nestled amidst verdant hills and kissed by Atlantic breezes, this port city offers a temperate climate year-round, a refuge from bustling tourist hubs. Here, authenticity thrives, with quaint plazas and local markets showcasing the island's vibrant culture. Visitors can savor traditional Canarian cuisine and stroll along centuries-old promenades. And as the sun dips below the horizon, the harbor comes alive with the rhythmic beats of traditional folk music, a captivating glimpse into La Palma's soul.
Day 2
Arrecife, Lanzarote
A volcanic island designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Lanzarote’s dramatic landscapes were shaped by an explosive past. Today, its pretty beaches and virtual absence of rain together with duty-free shopping make the island an extremely desirable destination. The main port and capital, Arrecife, is a pleasant town with a modern seafront and colourful gardens. Outside the capital there is plenty to explore, from the dazzling white salt flats of Janubio and the rugged terrain of Fire Mountain to the eerie caves of Los Verdes and an array of unspoilt fishing villages scattered around the coast. The island is home to a great selection of restaurants and local specialities including garbanzos compuestos – a chickpea stew; papas arrugadas – potatoes with carrots, peas, ham and green pepper; and of course, plenty of fresh seafood. Please note that those planning to participate in one of the shore excursions from this port may need to take an early lunch on board ship to suit the excursion schedules.
Day 4
Funchal, Madeira
Formed by a volcanic eruption, Madeira lies in the Gulf Stream, about 500 miles due west of Casablanca. Discovered by Portuguese explorer João Gonçalves Zarco in 1419, this beautiful island became part of Portugal’s vast empire and was named for the dense forest which cloaked it - 'Madeira' means 'wood' in Portuguese. Sugar plantations first brought wealth here, and when King Charles II of England granted an exclusive franchise to sell wine to England and its colonies, many British emigrants were drawn to the capital, Funchal. Today’s travellers come to Madeira for the varied and luxuriant scenery, from mountain slopes covered with vines to picturesque villages and a profusion of wild flowers. The natural beauty of the island has earned it many pseudonyms such as ‘The Floating Garden of the Atlantic’, 'The Island of Eternal Springtime' and ‘God’s Botanical Gardens’ and our selection of excursions aim to show you why.
Day 5
San Sebastian de la Gomera
Nestled on the shores of La Gomera, San Sebastian beckons with tales of seafaring adventures and historic voyages. This quaint town, once a vital port of call for explorers like Christopher Columbus, is steeped in maritime lore. Blessed with a mild climate and serene coastal vistas, it offers a tranquil escape from bustling tourist hubs. Here, authenticity thrives, offering cruisegoers a genuine glimpse into local island life. As the capital of La Gomera, San Sebastian serves as a gateway to the island's rugged beauty and cultural heritage.

Here, authenticity thrives, with local markets brimming with fresh seafood and artisans showcasing traditional crafts.
