Marella Cruises has launched its newest gastropub concept restaurant, Piccadilly’s, across the fleet, which will be available as part of the all-inclusive offering starting this June.
Luke Saunders, food and drink development manager at Marella Cruises, said: “We are pleased to be launching this latest innovative concept restaurant onboard all of our ships, Piccadilly’s.”
“After a successful trial across a couple of ships, we have seen great appetite for a range of hearty British favorites, from elegant desserts to comforts that taste like home. We can’t wait to see our customers’ reactions to this new restaurant concept,” added Saunders.
