Marella Cruises’ ship Marella Discovery will operate exclusively for adults in summer 2026.
The cruise line said the change has been ‘driven by the growing demand for adult-only holidays and the success of Marella Explorer 2’, which is also an adult-only ship.
The 1,800-passenger Marella Discovery will homeport at Limassol, Cyprus, offering three round-trip itineraries: ‘Grecian Discovery’ to Piraeus, Thira, Santorini, Bodrum, Heraklion, Crete, and Rhodes; ‘Aegean Gems’ to Souda, Crete, Piraeus, Greece, Izmir, Mykonos and Rhodes; and ‘Aegean Delights’ to Kos Town, Greece, Kusadasi, Patmos, Marmaris and Alanya.
Prices will start from £1,528 and the itineraries can be booked from today (Thursday 17 October). Tips and service charges are included in the price.
Managing Director Chris Hackney said: “This addition to the summer 2026 programme will allow customers who prefer an adult only ship a variety of itineraries to explore the sights of Greece, Cyprus and Turkey.
“We know from our research that three quarters of customers said adult only ships were important to them when making a booking. Given the popularity of the adult only ship, Marella Explorer 2, we hope this announcement will encourage even more new to cruise customers to sail with Marella Cruises in 2026.”
Marella has five ships in its fleet, with Marella Discovery 2, Marella Explorer and Marella Voyager operating in the family market.
