Cruise & Stay

You don’t have to spend your whole cruise holiday afloat. If you fancy extending your time away, why not combine your sailing with a stay at one of our hotels?

Our Cruise & Stay holidays give you the best of both worlds. Maybe you want to get to know the place where your cruise starts or ends? Perhaps you’re after some

extra downtime? Or, are you new to cruising and looking to combine it with your usual beach holiday?

Whatever the reason, it’s a great excuse for two breaks in one. Spend a week cruising followed by three, four or seven nights in a hotel or apartment. Or, do it the other way around and stay for a week before setting sail.

There are over 200 properties to choose from, across eight destinations. So you can soak up the sun on Caribbean islands like Barbados and Dominican Republic.

Or, tick off Canary Island big-hitters like Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Corfu and Majorca go big on beaches, and there’s culture for days in Dubrovnik.

Places to stay range from budget-friendly hotels and family-focused properties to our adults-only collection.

With you every step of the way

We’re part of TUI – the world’s biggest travel group. Our end-to-end service means we’re the only UK cruise line to take care of everything. Plus, our 24/7 TUI Guest Experience Centre, TUI reps and onboard crews ensure we’re with you all the way. To top it all off, we make it easy to book – in our nationwide TUI Stores, online or on the phone.

Your home from home

On a Marella Cruises sailing, you’ll always find a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you step onboard. Our friendly staff will remember your name, as well as your favourite cocktail. 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.

Variety all-round

You can explore over 140 destinations on our five ships – from Mediterranean beaches to big-hitting US cities. We focus on getting you to the destinations you love, which means fewer days at sea. And to make the most of your time in port, you can pick from our huge line-up of shore excursions that have been tried and tested by our expert guides. You can even pair your sailing with a stint in one of more than 200 handpicked hotels with our Cruise & Stay holidays.

All Inclusive as standard

All of our cruises are All Inclusive as standard, so you won’t have to worry about budgeting onboard. Flights, transfers, luggage, food, drinks and tips are all part of the package. Plus, there’s a huge choice of dining options, from buffet places and grab-and-go spots to waiter-service restaurants. And, you’ll never be bored on our ships, as daily entertainment and a range of activities are included, too.

Onboard entertainment

On the entertainment front, you can look forward to the likes of West End-style shows, live music, sail-away parties and pub quizzes. Kids’ clubs and child-friendly entertainment will keep youngsters happy, while adults can pick from things like sports classes and spa sessions.

See more ashore

We keep sea days to a minimum, so you’ll have more time to experience the best of what our destinations have to offer. You can go out on your own, or book one of our hassle-free shore excursions – all of which have been tried and tested by our expert guides. You can book them on the Marella Cruise Control website after you’ve booked your cruise.

We like to offer our customers an individual and personalised service, which is why we don't have a standardised loyalty club. Instead, we prefer to provide thoughtful gestures to our returning customers who book with us as a 'little thank you' for travelling with us again.

We also put our most loyal customers on an email mailing list so they hear about our new itineraries before they go on general sale, plus exclusive discounts and offers.
