If you’re from the United Kingdom you’ll be familiar with the big red smile that adorns TUI’s store fronts, aircrafts and cruise ship funnels. For the British market, booking a Marella Cruise brings all the benefits of booking a land based holiday with TUI. The former Thomson Cruises and, for a short while TUI Cruises brand, have moved to modernise their fleet without compromising on value for money and quality of service when onboard.
Here are the top 5 reasons why Marella Cruises could be the best choice for your next sailing:
1. All inclusive as standard. That’s right, no need to worry about adding on expensive drinks packages or using up onboard spend towards drinks. Even tips are included! Of course if crew members go above and beyond then additional tips are always gratefully received. Want to treat yourself even more? Upgrade to the premium drinks package to take advantage of an even wider range of drinks.
2. The friendliest crew at sea. Talking of crew, from our experience all crew are excellent however there is just something extra social with the Marella Cruises crew, willing to go the extra mile to make your cruise memorable. See our blog about our week on Marella Voyager to learn more about the crew.
3. Smaller ships. Don’t fancy hiking from A to B on a mega ship? Then Marella Cruises offers the perfect sized ships to ensure you can quickly make your way around and perhaps not get lost! Whilst Marella ships are older, don’t let that put you off as they’re always spotless and they’ve undergone extensive renovations to modernise the public areas onboard.
4. Entertainment. Fancy a West End style show? Head to the Broadway Show Lounge. Check your Cruise News to see what guest acts are onboard during your cruise. Fancy something different? Head to one of the many bars on offer to take in live music or if you want something more interactive head to Squid and Anchor for game show style shows.
5. Package holiday feeling. Booking a Marella Cruise gives you the same benefits and peace of mind of a TUI package holiday as transfers to and from your starting port are included from the destination airport. On some cruise lines you’re disembarked early even if you’re flight isn’t until later in the day, with Marella Cruises you can stay onboard until it’s time to head to the airport for no extra charge.
There’s so much choice out there but booking with Marella certainly make it easier. For us they are a great option, especially for your first cruise!
