Dining

Marella Explorer’s dining scene is worth shouting about. On top of a load of new waiter service restaurants and an around-the-world buffet, you’ve got speciality places like Surf & Turf, Umi Sushi and an experimental eatery.

Latitude 53

Experience complimentary · Cuisine classic

The main waiter service restaurant is a good-looking dining venue, with a gold-and-grey colour scheme and striking, floor-to-ceiling windows. Menu-wise, you can expect modern dishes with a twist, as well as some British favourites.

Vista

Experience complimentary · Cuisine italian

You’ll find Vista on deck 5 in Latitude 53. Come evening, it transforms into a contemporary Italian restaurant. Here, you can get regional Italian favourites made with authentic ingredients.

The Market Place

Experience complimentary · Cuisine buffet

You can watch the chefs whip up dishes from around the world at this buffet restaurant. It’s made up of lots of different food stalls, hence its name, the Market Place. And there's a design-your-own station every night, where you can choose all your ingredients for dishes like a stir-fry.

Snack Shack

Experience complimentary · Cuisine casual

This laidback eatery’s perfect for grab ‘n’ go lunches or snacks. You can help yourself to sandwiches and salads, or order a burger or hot dog. It comes complete with food stalls, oversized deckchairs, and colourful beach huts to eat in, as well as a drinks station, too.

Tapas @ The Mediterranean

Experience cover · Cuisine tapas

You’ll be whisked to sunny Spain when you dine in this section of The Mediterranean, which specialises in tapas dishes for dinner. Or you can take your taste buds over to Portugal and try espetadas – meat or veg skewers – for a little extra. It's open at lunchtime, too, for light bites, like sandwiches and jacket potatoes.

Italian @ The Mediterranean

Experience complimentary · Cuisine pizzeria

You can create your own pizzas and pastas at this laidback restaurant. Plus, you can start things off with a salad.

Kora La

Experience cover · Cuisine asian

You’ll feel like you’ve switched continents when you dine at this restaurant. Oriental-style lanterns and paintings are paired with a pan-Asian menu of curries and noodle dishes. There’s a charge to dine here and we recommend you make a reservation.

Surf & Turf Steakhouse

Experience cover · Cuisine steakhouse

This place does what it says on the tin, specialising in all things meat. The menu takes in mains like pork chops, lobster and grilled chicken – but the highlight has to be the 28-day-aged steaks. The interiors are inspired by the meaty menu, as well, with chopping board artwork and leather booth seating. There’s a charge to dine here and we recommend you make a reservation.

Umi Sushi

Experience cover · Cuisine sushi

Sushi, sashimi and nigiri rolls are prepared right in front of your eyes at this eatery. If you're not a sushi fan, there's also dim sum, cooked dishes and dessert to look forward to. It’s open for dinner only. There’s a charge to dine here and we recommend you make a reservation.

The Dining Club

Experience cover · Cuisine fine

This fine dining restaurant was made for foodies. You’ll be treated to high-end cuisine, making it the ideal spot for an extra special evening. It also hosts The Great Musical Afternoon Tea. 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. There’s a charge to dine here and we recommend you make a reservation.

The Coffee Port

Experience cover · Cuisine cafe

f you’re in need of a caffeine boost, this place will do the trick. Lavazza coffee and sweet treats are served here courtesy of our in-house chocolatier. Plus, it’s a great people-watching spot, since it overlooks the atrium and comes with a chilled-out musical soundtrack.

Please note, the drinks from the menu here are only included as part of the Premium All Inclusive package.

Scoops

Experience cover · Cuisine ice_cream

For those with a sweet tooth, try Scoops. This vintage-looking parlour serves up dollops of ice-cream in a range of flavours, and you can add toppings, too. The seating’s just as quirky – a collection of bike seats sit facing out to sea.

Room Service

Experience cover · Cuisine room

Feeling peckish but don’t want to leave the comfort of your cabin? Take a look at our room service menu. You can order all sorts of snacks and drinks, from triple-stacked club sandwiches to steaming cups of hot chocolate.


Entertainment

The entertainment onboard Marella Explorer doesn’t disappoint. Not only does it have the biggest ever Broadway Show Lounge, it also boasts the flash, new Indigo bar, club and casino. Alternatively, you can listen to live music in The Lounge – a stylish space with a bright-pink piano and colour-changing bar.

Broadway Show Lounge

With a capacity of 1,000 people, this show lounge is big enough to rival a Broadway theatre. And that’s not all it’s got going for it. There are plenty of brand-new shows on offer, plus you'll be handed a drink on arrival.

Aperitif

Aperitif specialises in all things premium. You can get cocktails like an Aperol Spritz or a Chocolate Espresso Martini, as well as Prosecco and a range of spirits – all included as part of our Premium All Inclusive package. This speakeasy-style bar's a great spot to head before or after a meal at one of the speciality restaurants.

Squid & Anchor

Our first pub at sea is a modern take on a traditional British boozer. There are two bars to pick from. One pours a great selection of drinks for you to choose from while you settle in for the evening entertainment, while the other deals in premium gins and whiskies, which are chargeable. Plus, this place is the home of a live band, quiz nights and a couple of arcade machines.

The Lounge

A colour-changing feature bar, hot-pink piano and funky, ring-shaped seats take their place in this eye-catching lounge bar. You can admire the views, while listening to the soothing soundtrack of the live pianist.

The Mediterranean Bar

This feature bar wraps around The Mediterranean – running from the inside to the outside. It’s the place to come for Mediterranean specialities, as well as your usual drinks and frozen cocktails. If you choose a seat outside, you'll get impressive sea views, since the terrace is positioned right at the back of the ship.

Indigo Bar

Indigo lays claim to the longest bar in the fleet. Flare demonstrations and cocktail-making sessions are often on the cards here. There's also plenty of seating around the bar’s edge, where you can take in the 360-degree views – day or night. After dark, the menus light up, showing off around-the-world themed cocktails, like Thai Punch and Jamaican Me Crazy.

Indigo Casino

If you’re feeling lucky, you can try out the slot machines and card tables at the Indigo Casino.

Indigo Club

You’ll find the club in the middle of Indigo, flaunting a dance-floor and a DJ booth, as well as an extra bar. It's where silent discos and Eighties or Nineties-themed nights take place.

Broad Street Shops

When the ship's at sea, it's time to hit the shops. The onboard boutiques are stocked with everyday essentials and loads of products, including perfume, jewellery and souvenirs.

Movies by Moonlight

The open-air cinema is the go-to place for a chilled-out evening under the stars. Classic movies and the latest box office hits are shown on a big screen. And you can get blankets, popcorn, and hot chocolate from the nearby bar.

The Shack

This deck bar provides cool-down drinks in between sunbathing. You’ll find it just above Snack Shack, overlooking the pool.

Take a visit to the Photo Gallery where you can view and buy all the photos captured by our photography team on the kiosks. If you'd prefer something more personalised, pop into the Photo Studio and ask about our professional photo shoots.

53

The clue’s in the name here. This bar is right next to Latitude 53, so it’s perfectly placed for some pre-dinner drinks.

Sports & Family Deck

The Sport & Family Deck is where the majority of the activities take place. Expect everything from table tennis, boules and basketball to make appearances – competitions and tournaments are organised throughout your sailing. There’s a jogging track up here, too, for a scenic morning run.

Pool Bar

 This bar sits next to the pool on Deck 11, so it’s great for grabbing drinks and frozen cocktails.

The Cinema

Movie days and nights come courtesy of the indoor cinema. Family-friendly films are on the agenda, with extra screenings during high season. If you’d prefer to watch something al fresco, keep an eye out for our Movies by Moonlight showings.

Gamer Zone

Everyone can play games at the aptly named Gamer Zone. It’s fully stocked with consoles.

Reception

Reception is the place to go for any queries, currency exchange and wake-up calls. Plus, it’s open around-the-clock.


Enrichment

Enrichment activities to be confirmed.

Bike Tours

If you really want to get under the skin of a place, book a bike tour. All our ships have a collection of mountain bikes onboard and, at almost every port, you can join an experienced guide and cycle your way around the best sights. The distance and difficulty of each tour varies, from relaxed rides over flat ground, to more challenging trips on hilly terrain. If you don’t fancy as much pedalling, there are electric bikes onboard, too. For more information, just speak to a member of the Destination Services team. 

Destination Services

If you want to find out more about our ports of call and excursions, come and chat to our Destination Services team. They’ve got guides and maps to help you find your way around. And you can book your next cruise with them, too. You’ll find them onboard by Reception.


Health & Fitness

Oceans spa and Beauty Salon

Marella Cruises are partnered with Oceans Spa and Beauty Salon to bring you a state-of-the-art on board spa. Like at any other Oceans Spa and Beauty Salon, you can book in for treatments, like facials, body wraps and massages, plus there’s a beauty salon. The spa doesn’t scrimp on size either. In fact, it’s the biggest in the fleet – packing in a sauna with widescreen windows, a relaxation room and VIP suites with private steam rooms and saunas.

Gym

You can work up a sweat with the sea in sight at the gym. You can join in with top fitness classes, like yoga and indoor cycling.

Pool

The pool area on Deck 11 has two outdoor pools and three whirlpools with plenty of lounge chairs. The pool is split in two by a stage in the middle, which is where the entertainment team run their daily activities from.

Whirlpool Baths

A trio of whirlpool baths sit next to the main pool.

The Veranda

Cocoon chairs and Balinese beds add to The Veranda’s luxe, relaxing atmosphere. Plus, it’s at the front of the ship, so the views are first-class.

The Veranda Cabanas

If you’re feeling extra plush, you can hire a private cabana for the day or the week, for a charge. Plus, you can order drinks without moving from your lounger, courtesy of call buttons.

The Attic

This is a quiet, noise-free zone, where you can slip away and get stuck into your latest holiday read.

Sports Court

Found on the Sports & Family Deck, this is where the majority of the activities take place. Expect everything from table tennis, boules and basketball to make appearances – competitions and tournaments are organised throughout your sailing. There’s a jogging track up here, too, for a scenic morning run.

Jogging Track

If it's a morning run you're after then why not take in the scenic views from the jogging track - you can find this on the Sports & Family Deck.

Mini Golf

If you’d prefer to putt your way around nine holes, the mini golf course on deck 12 has you covered. You can opt for a laidback round on your own, or sign up to one of the competitions that’s often organised during your sailing.


Kids & Teens

Marella Explorer puts families first having worked on every last detail when it comes to getting the kids onboard. That means family-sized and inter-connecting cabins, buffet lunches featuring favourites like pizza and spaghetti bolognese, and a great mix of activities. They lay on table tennis and football tournaments, fun quizzes, and early evening shows during their sea days. Every ship has a free Kids’ Club, too. So mum and dad can have time together while the little ones fill their days with treasure hunts, face-painting, and stories. Want some time off the ship to explore, too? One of the perks of cruising is visiting lots of new places one after the other. We’ve got a range of shore excursions for the whole family. For little ones, we organise trips to places like waterparks, aquariums and beaches. And that's not all – if you’re travelling with children aged 10 and over, there’s also the option of two wheels, as most of our ships have mountain bikes on board. At almost every port, you can join an experienced guide and pedal your way around the best sights.

Hideout

This hangout spot has been designed with older kids and teens in mind – think games consoles and comfy seating. Plus, there’s an al fresco terrace filled with colourful hammocks.

M Club

The accredited staff at M Club, Marella Cruises onboard kids’ club do a brilliant job keeping youngsters entertained. There’s messy time with arts and crafts, dressing-up, movie nights and pyjama parties, as well as feature games from M Crew – characters exclusive to Marella Cruises. Trips to the bridge to high-five the captain and behind-the-scenes backstage tours may also make the line-up. The M Club is for children ages 3 to 11 and best of all, the club is free.

Mini M Club

Parents can play and learn with their tots at Mini M Club. This space – designed for little ones aged between 6 months and 3 years – is open from 9am to 8pm every day. Plus, once a day, there’s an hour’s sensory play session, run by M Club hosts.

For all information on our COVID-19 rules and procedures, please visit our dedicated Hub: Cruise With Confidence | Marella Cruises (tui.co.uk)

Disabled Facilities

If you're planning a cruise and have a disability, use a wheelchair, have special dietary needs, a sensory impairment or are undergoing medical treatment, you must let Marella know when making your booking. Failure in doing this may result in you being refused boarding on arrival at the ship. For more information please contact Marella's Customer Welfare Team. If you plan to use a wheelchair onboard and require adapted facilities you must book a specially adapted cabin. All of Marella shops have at least four of these cabins. These cabins may only be booked by those who require adapted facilities. If you plan to use your wheelchair onboard but do not require adapted facilities, please contact the Customer Welfare Team to make sure an appropriate cabin type can be selected. If you need your wheelchair - either standard or battery operated - when you're ashore, Marella will look after it for you at the gangway so it's there when you need it. But you will have to be able to manage the gangway without it. In ports where a tender to shore is necessary, you'll have to stay onboard if you can't manage without your wheelchair. At other times, depending on the port and the tides , it may not be possible for you to leave the ship at all due to gangway access. Some excursions may not be suitable for the less mobile. Marella Cruises have teamed up with AccessAble, who have created detailed access guides for each of our ships. Visit their website to find out more: https://www.accessable.co.uk/marella-cruises

Dietary Requirements

If you've got any dietary requirements, please make sure you mention it when you book by contacting our Customer Welfare Team on 020 3451 2585. Then let the restaurant manager know once you're onboard. We also provide vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and diabetic-friendly options on request. If you need to bring your own food for medical reasons, please let us know in advance so we can ensure we have the correct facilities in place to store and prepare this. There may be some requests we aren't able to accommodate, so it's important you let us know when you book your cruise.

  • Selected draught beer and cider
  • A range of spirits and aperitifs, including lots of big brands
  • Selected wine and Prosecco by the glass
  • A selection of cocktails, from Long Island Iced Tea to Pimm’s and lemonade

  • Cans of soft drink
  • More choice of whiskies, brandies and Cognacs
  • All drinks from The Coffee Port menu, which are made with premium Lavazza coffee

Dress Code

The dress code policy’s easily broken down into Beachwear, Casual and Smart. The first is a ‘come as you are’ affair, so bikinis and trunks get the thumbs up, plus we ask that you wear something on your feet for safety reasons. Meanwhile, Casual speaks for itself – we’re talking tops and shorts or a sundress. Then you’ve got Smart, which is when you’ll need to dress up a bit. Put your sports or swimwear away, and opt for trousers, smart tailored shorts or a skirt or dress, a shirt or polo shirt and smart shoes, so no trainers or flip flops. If you want to add a jacket or tie, that’s up to you. But the Dress to Impress nights give you the chance to get really suited and booted. Each of the restaurants onboard has a dress code, and this can differ depending on the time of day, but they’ll always let you know.

Medical Centre

Each of our ships has a medical centre and we have an English-speaking doctor and nurses on board who keep surgery hours. The opening hours are in Cruise News, plus there’s a 24-hour emergency service you can call by dialling 999 from your cabin phone. Just so you know, there’s a fee for using the medical centre, getting prescriptions and follow-up visits, which will be charged to your onboard account.

Smoking Policy

On the Marella Cruise Ships you can smoke in designated areas on deck, this is the case for e-cigarettes also.

Wi-Fi Packages

We have designated Wi-Fi zones onboard. Internet access is charged to your cabin account at the rate advertised onboard. Mobiles can be used – make sure to check with your provider for charges in each country and in international waters, which applies when the ship's at sea. There are telephones in each cabin, too, so it’s easy to stay in touch with people back home. If you’re pairing your cruise with a stay in one of our hotels, we’ll let you know which places have free Wi-Fi – just look out for the special logo

Ever wanted to book a slot at the spa, the casino, or your favourite onboard restaurant without leaving your cabin or sunbed? Well, there’s an app for that – it’s called Navigate. Our onboard app is like having your own personal cruise planner in the palm of your hand, and you can use it to manage lots of different aspects of your cruise. When you embark on a Marella Cruise you'll have access to Navigate which can help you with everything from watching the safety video, to accessing your onboard account, booking shore excursions, restaurants, spa treatments and much much more. If you need any more information or assistance with this then head to Reception onboard and they'll be happy to help.

Awards

On a Marella cruise, you’ll always find a warm and welcoming atmosphere, from the moment you step onboard, wherever we sail. Our friendly staff will remember your name, as well as your favourite cocktail. And in the restaurants, we’re just as well-versed in local specialities as we are in decent cups of tea. In fact, we've been endorsed with the Good Housekeeping Reader Recommended stamp of approval. A massive 90% of our customers said the service was very good or excellent – and were impressed by how staff recognised them on a return visit. We picked up the prize for Best Cruise Line for Value at the 2019 Cruise Critic Editor’s Choice Awards. We’ve also picked up numerous awards at the Cruise Critic 2019 Cruisers Choice Awards, including Best Entertainment on Marella Discovery. Most recently in 2021 Marella won the Marine Interior Design of the Year Award for the refit of The Glass House on Marella Discovery in the Seatrade Cruise Awards.
