In summer 2018, Marella Explorer was welcomed to the fleet. The ship stepped up to the plate, with a bumper batch of 10 restaurants and 10 bars. There are fleet favourites like Snack Shack and Kora La, plus brand new spaces like The Dining Club for foodies and a swanky bar, club and casino. The highlights don’t stop at food and drink, though. There’s also an indoor cinema, a Sports & Family Deck and a Champneys spa, where you can sign up for everything from body-balancing acupuncture and slimming treatments to body wraps and facials.
DINING OPTIONS
Marella Explorer’s dining scene is worth shouting about. On top of a load of new waiter service restaurants and an around-the-world buffet, you’ve got speciality places like Surf & Turf, Umi Sushi and an experimental eatery.
ENTERTAINMENT VENUES
The entertainment onboard Marella Explorer doesn’t disappoint. Not only does it have the biggest ever Broadway Show Lounge, it also boasts the flash, new Indigo bar, club and casino. Alternatively, you can listen to live music in The Lounge – a stylish space with a bright-pink piano and colour-changing bar.
SHIP FACILITIES
Marella Explorer has enough facilities to keep everyone happy. Children can head to the Kids’ Club, Hideout or go for a game of minigolf, while grown-ups can sink in to Balinese beds at The Veranda or book in for pampering at the spa – it’s the biggest in our fleet.
Champneys
Marella Cruises has partnered with Champneys to bring you this state-of-the-art spa. Like at any other Champneys spa, you can book in for treatments, like facials, body wraps and massages, plus there’s a beauty salon. The spa doesn’t scrimp on size. In fact, it’s the biggest in the fleet – packing in a relaxation room and made-for-two suites. There’s also an adults-only sauna with floor-to-ceiling windows and a steam room. Just so you know, there’s a charge for treatments and use of the facilities. Alternatively, you can work up a sweat with the sea in sight at the gym.
Pool bar
This bar sits next to the pool on Deck 11, so it’s great for grabbing drinks and frozen cocktails.
The Veranda
Balinese beds and call-for-drinks buttons give The Veranda a luxe, adults-only feel. Plus, it’s at the front of the ship, so the views are first-class.
The Shack
This deck bar provides cool-down drinks, like frozen cocktails, in between sunbathing. You’ll find it just above Snack Shack, overlooking the pool.
