Marella Explorer 2
Marella Explorer 2 is the slightly smaller, wholly adults-only version of its sibling ship, Marella Explorer. There are many similar facilities including The Veranda, a chic sundeck with cabanas and Balinese beds for all-day lounging.
Activities include a running track for the ultra-fit, swimming pool, mini-golf and a relaxing Champneys Spa. Meanwhile, evenings are well served by the cinema, casino, disco and Broadway theatre.
Then there's the impressive collection of restaurants and bars, including piano bar Flutes, where fizz readily flows, golf-themed The 19th Hole, a well-stocked bar complete with golf simulator and Beach Cove, a laid back restaurant with swing seats and a BBQ-flavoured menu.
Meanwhile, cabins are chic and sophisticated with neutral tones and plenty of amenities. Opt for an external cabin with a balcony to really make the most of your time aboard Marella Explorer 2.
