Marella Cruises will be running all-inclusive itineraries around Great Britain this summer for UK residents aboard two of its ships departing from Southampton and Newcastle.
Cruises around Great Britain are currently only available to UK residents, and all passengers aged 18 and over must have been vaccinated against Covid-19 at least 7 days before departure. All passengers must also present a negative test result before boarding. Infants and passengers under 2 years of age are not permitted to sail.
Starting June 25, the Marella Explorer will offer departures from Southampton to ports such as Belfast, Dublin, and Liverpool. Scheduled voyages include a 3-night cruise with visits to Dover and Portland, or a 12-day itinerary visiting Irish towns such as Dublin and Cobh (Cork).
The Explorer 2 will be making cruises from Newcastle from July 10th and details of its departures will be announced later this month.
All itineraries will offer excursions recommended by the onboard destination services team.
Chris Hackney, Managing Director of Cruise TUI UK & Ireland, said: “Domestic voyages are a major step forward for the cruise industry and have given us the opportunity to take our guests to new destinations full of culture and history while still being close to home. We are looking forward to this new adventure in British waters and are dedicated to ensuring our guests have the most memorable and exciting cruise with us.”.
