Marella cruise deals
Marella offers several sailings around Spain, Greece and Italy, each one with an exciting itinerary that includes opportunities for on-land exploration. Discover gorgeous white-sand beaches, picturesque ports, seductive cities and cultural sites.
Choose Marella’s Magic of Spain cruise and marvel at the magnificent Baroque cathedral in Europe’s oldest city, Cadiz, and sample seafood tapas in atmospheric backstreet bars of Palma, Majorca. Opt for Highlights of the Mediterranean and you’ll take in some stunning scenery – from Majorca’s capital, Palma, to Barcelona, via Corsica and the pretty French Riviera. There’s also the chance for expeditions to historical heavyweights, such as Rome, Florence and Pisa.
These are just a couple of Marella’s cruises on offer. There are sailings around the Aegean, with stop offs at the photogenic islands of Crete, sunset-famous Santorini, and Rhodes, pausing at Piraeus to explore the big-hitting cultural sites of Athens. There’s also an adults-only Continental Coasts itinerary, guaranteeing you on-board tranquillity as you hop along Spain’s east coast.

You could be hiking the foothills of an imposing volcano one day and scuba diving in turquoise waters with parrot fish the next. Add a spot of shopping in chichi boutiques and throw in a stint of sunbathing on gorgeous beaches.
Or choose the seven-night Flavours of the Caribbean cruise for sailings around the clear blue waters of Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and Cuba. Or the Paradise Islands sailing, with Barbados, Antigua, St Kitts just a few of the picture-perfect stops on this adult-only cruise.
