Marella Cruises has unveiled its winter 2027 program, available for booking from July 2, 2026. 

All five ships from its fleet will homeport in six European and Caribbean ports during the season, offering brand-new itineraries, festive overnight stays, repositioning cruises and transatlantic cruises. 

The cruise line also confirmed in a statement that the Marella Discovery 2, which completed three decades of operation last year, will turn into a permanent adults-only ship with four new adults-only onboard concepts. 

These will transform the kids-only spaces into concepts including a speakeasy, escape room, karaoke room and arts & crafts area.

“Our winter 2027 program will focus on the regeneration of Marella Discovery 2 returning as an adults-only ship for a second consecutive winter season. With demand for adults-only cruising continuing to grow, we’re investing in four new onboard concepts to enhance the experience even further,” said Chris Hackney, Marella Cruises CEO.
