        National Archeological Museum

        Located about midway down the east coast of Italy, Ancona has played an important role in the country’s history. It was home to Emperor Trajan – the successful military leader who led Roman soldiers in expansion – who paid to renovate the town port, leading to prosperity. You can see an ancient arch that was constructed in his honour. The Mole Vanvitelliana is another interesting place to behold; a manmade pentagonal island which has been used to house everything from leprosy sufferers to war weapons. See churches, the war memorial, and the archaeological museum to learn more about Italy’s history.

First time with marella. Loved how relaxed it felt. Staff are just amazing and so helpful. Didn’t like the inside cabin wouldn’t book this again. Struggled without some natural daylight. The ship felt a little tired in places but the staff couldn’t have kept it any cleaner.

Good cruise overall with happy friendly staff across the board. Nice to see the officers and crew eating in the buffet along with the guests as I feel that made for a more relaxed but still professional atmosphere. Would cruise with TUI again. My only gripe is the whole subbed/towel reservation. I would ban the whole thing - appalling how people do it and job subbed.
