Marella Cruises has announced that Marella Discovery will become an adult-only ship for the summer of 2026, homeporting from Limassol, Cyprus. This decision comes in response to the growing demand for adult-only holidays and the success of Marella Explorer 2, the cruise line’s popular adult-only vessel. Bookings for these exclusive sailings will be available starting October 17, 2024, offering guests the opportunity to explore the breathtaking destinations of Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey.
Marella Discovery will offer three distinct itineraries, all round trips from Limassol:
- Grecian Discovery: Limassol (Cyprus), Piraeus (Greece), Thira (Santorini), Bodrum (Turkey), Heraklion (Crete), Rhodes Town (Rhodes), and back to Limassol.
- Aegean Gems: Limassol, Souda (Crete), Piraeus, Izmir (Turkey), Mykonos, Rhodes Town, and return to Limassol.
- Aegean Delights: Limassol, Kos Town (Greece), Kusadasi (Turkey), Patmos (Greece), Marmaris (Turkey), Alanya (Turkey), and back to Limassol.
Chris Hackney, Managing Director of Marella Cruises, commented: “This addition to the summer 2026 program will offer customers who prefer an adult-only ship a variety of itineraries to explore the beautiful sights of Greece, Cyprus, and Turkey. Our research shows that three-quarters of customers consider adult-only ships important when making a booking. Given the popularity of Marella Explorer 2, we hope this announcement will attract even more new-to-cruise customers to sail with us in 2026.”
Marella Cruises provides an all-inclusive experience, with all tips and service charges included, ensuring guests enjoy top-notch service. Prices for the Grecian Discovery itinerary start from £1,528, and bookings open on Thursday, October 17, 2024.
