Kids and teens are well catered for with dedicated areas including the fully stocked Gamer Zone, while adults can enjoy some peace and quiet lounging about on the Balinese beds on The Veranda.

Things to do

Spa and fitness

Marella Explorer is the perfect choice for a week of pampering, thanks to the renowned Oceans Spa and Beauty Salon. Offering a range of treatments including polishes, couples massages and other sumptuous delights, it’s the perfect opportunity to recharge and refresh on your cruise.

As well as these wonderful facilities, the ship is equipped with a state-of-the-art gym which is kitted out with all the essentials for an intensive workout.

Recreation

Days at sea can be enjoyed just as much as shore excursions on Marella Explorer. One of the most popular places to spend the afternoon is the pool deck, where as well as the pool there are various whirlpools in which to relax and enjoy the ocean views. However, if you’d like some respite from the sun then head inside and browse what’s on offer. From a well-stocked library and coffee shops to boutiques and a photo studio, there’s no end of ways to keep you occupied during your free time on the ship.
