Marella Explorer’s dining scene is worth shouting about. On top of a load of waiter service restaurants and an around-the-world buffet, you’ve got speciality places like Surf & Turf Steakhouse, Umi Sushi and an experimental eatery.
The dress code – The onboard dress code varies for each restaurant, but you can easily break it down into Beachwear, Casual and Smart.
The first is a come-as-you-are affair, so bikinis and trunks get the thumbs up, but please wear something on your feet for safety reasons.
Casual, meanwhile, speaks for itself – we’re talking tops and shorts or a sundress. Then you’ve got Smart, which is when you’ll need to dress up a little bit. You can wear shirts or polo shirts, trousers or tailored shorts, skirts or dresses, smart trainers, shoes or sandals, but we ask that you leave sportswear, flip-flops and non-tailored shorts in your cabin. If you want to add a jacket or a tie, that’s completely up to you, but our dress to impress nights give you the chance to get really suited and booted.
The entertainment onboard Marella Explorer doesn’t disappoint. Not only does it have the biggest ever Broadway Show Lounge, it also boasts the flash 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.
Far from hustle and bustle, stress and everyday, guests are encouraged to delve into some R&R whilst on board Marella Explorer by paying a visit to the Oceans spa and Beauty Salon, unwind by the pool, or re-energising in one of the Veranda Cabanas. For those who wish to keep active there's plenty to choose with our well-equipped Gym which offers both classes and personal training options, as well as a wide variety of sporting activities on the Sports and Family Deck to get the blood pumping. If it's just a morning run you're after then why not take in the views from the jogging track on Deck 12.
Marella Explorer puts families first having worked on every last detail when it comes to getting the kids onboard. That means family-sized and inter-connecting cabins, buffet lunches featuring favourites like pizza and spaghetti bolognese, and a great mix of activities. They lay on table tennis and football tournaments, fun quizzes, and early evening shows during their sea days. Every ship has a free Kids’ Club, too. So mum and dad can have time together while the little ones fill their days with treasure hunts, face-painting, and stories. Want some time off the ship to explore, too? One of the perks of cruising is visiting lots of new places one after the other. We’ve got a range of shore excursions for the whole family. For little ones, we organise trips to places like waterparks, aquariums and beaches. And that's not all – if you’re travelling with children aged 10 and over, there’s also the option of two wheels, as most of our ships have mountain bikes on board. At almost every port, you can join an experienced guide and pedal your way around the best sights.
