Cruises with Marella Explorer have families in mind and with enough facilities and activities to please guests of all ages, there’s no chance of anyone moaning that they are bored!
If you’re looking for some active fun that brings the family together, look no further than minigolf, table tennis and more at the Sports & Family Deck, where you can challenge your loved ones to a bit of friendly competition.
As important as it is to spend time together as a family, there are also plenty of opportunities to hangout separately. 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.
Everyone can cool off outdoors while onboard Marella Explorer as there is a swimming pool, multiple whirlpools and a kids Splash Pad with baby mini-slide.
Marella Explorer is the perfect choice for a week of pampering thanks to the renowned Champneys Spa and Beauty Salon. Their first at-sea spa, Champneys will offer passengers not only a full range of treatments, but also a wellness centre and a relaxation room, providing 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.

Thoroughly enjoyed our cruise!
The Pros: The embarkation and transfer from the airport was seamless. The cabin was clean and a good size we had the large balcony cabin. The staff was friendly I would not say they provide personal service but they are polite. The drinks selection and coffee shop was good. Disembarking was seamless. The boat is very clean. The entertainment show was great and some of the musicians. The Cons: We paid a discount price and it felt like a discounted cruise it was like Benidorm in the sea, people pushing over each other at the buffet shouting bar the bar to get the next drink you would think the boat was going to run out of food and drinks. If your looking for the glamorous cruise you won’t find it here half of my good clothes I did not wear as I would have been out of place. The food was hospital food bland with no taste I suppose when your feeding the masses this is how it goes. Be prepared for drunk and loud it’s not a place to relax I was happy to get the off the boat during the day. There were pub quizzes and Karaoke on a lot of days again not to my taste. In summary if your looking for the glamorous cruise you will not find it here. I suppose I made the wrong choice.
