Marella Cruises' Marella Explorer 2 is a fantastic all-inclusive ship which can accommodate more than 1,800 passengers. She offers the same standard of service and comfort as her sister ship Marella Explorer, however there is one significant difference: Marella Explorer 2 is reserved for adults-only.
This important factor has had a significant bearing on the design of the ship. Its focus on adults means that facilities such as the popular social space - The Veranda - is twice the size as on other Marella Cruises ships, allowing guests more opportunity to meet fellow passengers and spend more time sunbathing, sipping on cocktails, and enjoying the fun holiday ambience.
Mealtimes are the star of the show onboard Explorer 2 and with so much to choose from, including a range of speciality restaurants, there’s no chance of going hungry during you cruise.

Show moreWe have been on 8 cruises with various operators (princess, Royal Caribbean, Cunard, Holland America, P&O ), and not been with Marella before, but were recommended to do so by a friend who used to work in the industry. We were not disappointed: ship very clean and tidy, with a fresh contemporary feel and unfussy (no expensive artwork), nice furniture throughout; cabins immaculate, with a larger bathroom than most, notably with a glass shower screen, rather than a curtain. Crew welcoming, professional and always cheerful. Entertainment first rate, food standard excellent, (but with buffet selection smaller than some) and more than enough bars with a wide range of cocktails available; we had the premium drinks package for £7 a day, which was great value. Transport to and from the ship was extremely efficient; we were given cabin tags at the UK airport for the suitcase, Naples was not as chaotic as we feared (we travelled mid-week), with a 5 minute walk to the coaches. Luggage was loaded on to the coaches for us, and appeared at our cabins within an hour of boarding. Boarding efficient and quick, a couple of minor issues ( a twin room set up as a double) rapidly and efficiently sorted out. return journey equally good; luggage was left outside the cabins the night before leaving, the next time we saw it was on the baggage claim in the UK. Didn't use any of the ship's excursions, so can't comment on these. Excellent value for money with all tips and drinks included, we would definitely use Marella again.
