Marella Explorer 2

Marella Explorer 2

Marella Explorer 2 is exclusively for adults. It boasts a big choice of restaurants and bars, plus a large spa and luxe sunbathing area, The Veranda.

The adults-only Marella Explorer 2 flaunts a range of exciting facilities, from a large spa to a chic bar-club-casino space. You’ve got nine bars and nine restaurants on this ship, too. Top spots include The 19th Hole – a golf-themed bar with a golf simulator – Flutes, where you can sip Champagne* or Prosecco to the sounds of a pianist, and Beach Cove – a relaxed restaurant with barbecue-inspired menus and quirky swinging seats. Not to mention the outdoor spaces, like The Veranda, where you can enjoy far-reaching sea views.

Dining

There are seven dining spots to pick from, including the main restaurant – Latitude 53 – that’s spread over two storeys. You’ve also got an international buffet and two speciality restaurants that line up Mediterranean and Asian fare. You’ll find the latter on the top deck, where the sea views are best in class. If afternoon tea and after-dinner cocktails are more your scene, you’ve got seven bars and lounges to relax in, as well.

Nonna's

Made-to-order pizza and pasta dishes are up for grabs at this place, which is open for lunch and dinner.

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.

Latitude 53
Latitude 53

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.

The Market Place
The Market Place

Our 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. You can expect regular theme nights, too, including Mexican, Chinese and Japanese. Prefer to dine al fresco? Then make the most of The Terrace and enjoy the sea views while you eat.

Snack Shack
Snack Shack

If there’s any eatery that knows how to make you feel like you’re on holiday, it’s Snack Shack. This place is laid out like British-inspired beach huts, complete with oversized deckchairs. As such, you can look forward to grab ‘n’ go lunches, like sandwiches, burgers and salads, as well as fish and chip dinners. There's a drink station here, too.

The Dining Club
The Dining Club

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.

Surf & Turf Steakhouse
Surf & Turf Steakhouse

This place does what it says on the tin, specialising in all things meat. The menu takes in mains like 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. There’s a charge to dine here and we recommend you make a reservation.

Kora La
Kora La

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 separate sushi menu, too. There’s a charge to dine here and we recommend you make a reservation.

Beach Cove

Like the name suggests, this place has a beachy vibe. Big sliding doors will make you feel like you’re eating al fresco, the menus are inspired by barbecues, and the decor includes quirky swing seats. A cover charge applies for dining here.

The Coffee Port
The Coffee Port

If you’re in need of a caffeine boost, this place will do the trick. This place is the biggest Coffee Port in our fleet, serving sweet treats courtesy of our in-house chocolatier and Lavazza coffee – the latter of which is included in our Premium All Inclusive drinks package. Alongside this, you can make use of the books and board games, or charge up your phone at the USB points. In a first for Marella Cruises, there’s a special after-dark menu, too, featuring coffee and tea-based cocktails like Espresso Martinis and Green Tea Mojitos. Plus, you can make your own coffee or hot chocolate using a selection of premium liqueurs, like Baileys Salted Caramel.

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

Scoops
Scoops

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
Room Service

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

There’s plenty to choose from when it comes to entertainment onboard Marella Explorer 2. On top of its five-star Broadway Show Lounge, you’ve got the Indigo Bar, Club and Casino to kick back in – it has everything from a flashing-light-fitted dance floor to blackjack and roulette tables. Alternatively, you can unwind and listen to some live music in The Squid & Anchor – it’s styled like a traditional British pub – or sip on cocktails while you play a round on the virtual golf simulators at our themed bar, The 19th Hole.

The 19th Hole

Themed cocktails aren’t all this club-house-inspired bar brings to the table. You can take up a seat in a golf buggy, or tee off on one of two golf simulators, for a charge.

Flutes
Flutes

If you’re after something bubbly, Flutes is the bar for you. You can sip glasses of Champagne* or Prosecco while listening to the sounds of a pianist. Plus, there are handy ‘press for bubbles’ buttons dotted around.

*Please note, Champagne isn’t included as part of the All Inclusive or the Premium All Inclusive drinks packages.

Broadway Show Lounge
Broadway Show Lounge

This show lounge is big enough to rival a Broadway theatre. And that’s not all it’s got going for it. There are 12 spectacular shows on offer, covering a variety of different styles of music. So, whatever your taste, you'll find something to tickle your fancy.

Indigo Bar
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

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.

Squid & Anchor
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.

Photo Gallery & Photo Studio

Reception
Reception

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

Health & Fitness

Far from hustle and bustle, stress and everyday, guests are encouraged to delve into some R&R whilst on board Marella Explorer 2 by paying a visit to the Oceans spa and Beauty Salon, unwind by the pool, or re-energising in one of the Veranda Cabanas. For those who wish to keep active there's plenty to choose with our well-equipped gym which offers both classes and personal training options to get the blood pumping. If it's just a morning run you're after then why not take in the views from the Running Track on Deck 14.

Oceans spa and Beauty Salon
Oceans spa and Beauty Salon

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
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.

The Veranda

The Veranda Cabanas
