Marella Cruises has introduced the All-Inclusive Cruise Calculator, a free tool that reveals the cost of sailing with the company.
The company said in a press release that the tool demonstrates savings from booking an all-inclusive offering.
The tool highlights the all-inclusive offering, which includes flights, food and drink, transfers, entertainment, tips and service charges.
Chris Hackney, managing director at Marella Cruises, said: “The new All Inclusive Cruise Calculator allows customers to see the value for money we provide to our customers.”
“With all-inclusive at the heart of our cruise holidays, we provide an exceptional end-to-end service which includes flights, transfers, tips and accommodation rolled into one price, as well as entertainment, food and drink offerings and fantastic service,” added Hackney.
“We hope the tool helps new-to-cruise customers who are looking for alternative holidays consider a cruise holiday this summer and beyond.”
Research by Marella Cruises revealed that over 60 percent of Brits plan to take a holiday this year, yet 20 percent admit that the cost of living is stopping them from booking.
Twenty-two percent see an all-inclusive cruise to be the best value; however, 46 percent would be open to a cruise holiday if they could compare the costs more easily.
Chelsea Dickensen, a travel expert influencer, said: “All inclusive holidays are back in fashion with searches for stress-free escapes skyrocketing by 60 percent year on year.”
“And it’s not just resorts seeing the love, with cruise holidays expecting to surpass pre-pandemic levels by reaching 37.1 million passengers in 2025. However, prices are on the rise too, with the average package holiday prices rising 4.2 percent compared to 2024,” added Dickensen.
“For cruises, these hidden costs could include your flights, transfers, meals, drinks and tips, though companies such as Marella Cruises do include all of these as standard. Their All Inclusive Cruise Calculator is really helpful in sharing exactly what you’ll get, and how much you could save by having it as part of your package.”
