Marella Discovery

Meet the amazing Marella Discovery from the Marella Cruises fleet. Featuring many well-known Marella highlights alongside some exciting new additions. The ship accommodates 1,830 guests but still maintains an intimate small ship cruising experience with dedicated service. Almost 40% of the ship’s 915 comfortable cabins come with a balcony giving guests the opportunity to take in some astonishing views during their cruise. A wider variety of Junior and Royal Suites are also available for that extra something special. Destination rich itineraries plus fewer days at sea mean that a cruise on Marella Discovery is brimming with adventure and opportunities for exploration.

Adventurous and outdoorsy types will love the rock-climbing wall and those wishing to practice their putting whilst on holiday can do so on the new nine hole mini golf course. Traditional Marella favourites are onboard including the impressive outdoor poolside movie screen and an 802 seat Theatre. Attention to detail and design is present throughout and the stunning five-storey Atrium makes a perfectly picturesque meeting point for a pre-dinner drink with relaxing live music.

With venues such as M Club, Gamer Zone, Hideout and minigolf keeping the kids entertained, adults can enjoy the onboard casino, spa and fitness area plus much more as Marella Discovery makes an ideal choice for the whole family.

Customer reviews for Marella Discovery

Just spent a week on Marella Discovery1 What a brilliant time we had, we have sailed with P&O MSC Carniival But from start to finished we never had 1 complaint. The ship isn't an over the top glitzy show piece, it's modern clean and a great size, not to big and its deck arrangements for everything is very good no terrible ques for lifts, The food is excellent in 47. Which is Italian on the top. The staff are superb, always friendly and Xaptain Chris has a great family working for him. He is always seen around mixing with his staff giving them praise. AI. And a nice extra selection of 2 restaurants to pay a supplement. We had an outside cabin on deck 3, no noise and payed extra for a window. Transfers and trips well organised and the Itinary on the Adriatic explorer was superb(Venice,Croatia, Montenegro,Corfu stay for 7 days. Will def be booking again asap****
