A personal experience / overview by Julie, Senior Travel Consultant, Martins World Travel – Bolsover
“Embarkation and Disembarkation when visiting ports of call was very efficient, so smooth and stress free. My itinerary had only one day at sea so more ports of call on my 7 night itinerary, 5 on this cruise, which suited my love of exploring new sites and places. Sailing from and to Limassol I visited 3 different countries, Cyprus, Greece and Turkey. Excursions were very well organised and a great way to experience the best of the ports of call. Good value too.
Something for everyone –
I watched Gary Barlow(tribute) in the live lounge, played Who wants to be a Millionaire in the Slug & Anchor and enjoyed dancing in Bar 11 – a contemporary cocktail bar. The Glasshouse offers a covered pool area with couple sized Balinese beds and hot tub – a very sedate chilled vibe, restyled to look like a trendy beach club. In the evening enjoyed tapas and similar delicacies with beautiful views. The elevated dining in the two speciality restaurants is exceptional and definitely 5 star dining…a must when on Marella. I indulged in the Spa and Beauty salon and was made to feel very special…such lovely ladies and the perfect tonic/treat. Sunbathed in the adults only ‘Veranda’ located at the stern of the ship…amazing views and impeccable waiter service. Marella is all inclusive and takes all the stress out of huge on-board bills”

Why Choose a Caribbean Cruise?
Where turquoise waters, white sands, and island rhythms await. When it comes to postcard-perfect beauty, the Caribbean sets the standard. With over 7,000 islands stretching from the Florida Keys down to Venezuela, this sun-drenched region is a dreamscape of powder-soft beaches, clear blue seas, and laid-back island vibes.
Wherever you drop anchor — be it Aruba, St. Lucia, or Guadeloupe — you’ll step ashore onto sugar-white sands, kissed by warm, crystalline waves. But it’s not just what’s above the waterline that wows.
The Caribbean’s underwater world is just as captivating. Dive into adventure as you explore shipwrecks off Grand Turk, snorkel alongside sea turtles in Barbados, or swim with stingrays in the Cayman Islands. And don’t miss the iconic swimming pigs of the Bahamas — a must for your photo album. For wildlife lovers, a visit to Dominica offers the rare chance to spot sperm whales year-round — the only place on Earth where that’s possible.
Beyond the beaches and reefs, each island brings its own unique personality. The Dutch-influenced streets of Curaçao pop with colour and charm, while Jamaica pulses with rum cocktails, reggae rhythms, and rainforest adventures. In Havana, Cuba’s capital, you’ll find vintage cars, colonial architecture, and an irresistible soundtrack of late-night salsa. Meanwhile, St. Maarten quietly boasts a world-class dining scene, with more than 400 restaurants making it a true culinary gem of the Caribbean.
Want to stretch your stay a little longer? With a Cruise & Stay package, you can add a blissful beach break before or after your voyage. Choose from luxurious TUI SENSATORI resorts in Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, or go beachfront in Barbados — the perfect way to make the most of paradise.
