The cruise line's winter 2026 programme sees several port debuts and its return to Tunisia after more than 10 years
Marella Explorer 2 will end the cruise line's Tunisian hiatus on its 'Mediterranean Moments' voyage on October 10th, 2026, when it sails from Dubrovnik to Málaga via Valletta, Tunis, Alicante, and Almeria.
Going on sale from July 3rd, 2025, managing director Chris Hackney revealed that the programme was centred around Marella Cruises' mission "to improve and adapt our customer offering, whether that’s through new destinations, itineraries, or ships.
"Guests will be able to explore a wide range of ports and destinations in Morocco and Portugal, as well as the opportunity to take advantage of Marella’s Cruise & Stay programme, by extending their holiday at one of TUI’s hotels pre- or post- cruise."
Both Marella Explorer 2 and Marella Voyager will call Barbados home throughout the season; Marella Discovery will homeport at La Romana (Dominican Republic) between November 2026 and March 2027 before repositioning to Majorca from March 2027 to April 2027; Marella Explorer will homeport in the Canaries; and Marella Discovery 2 will homeport out in the Canaries between November 2026 and March 2027 before repositioning to Málaga for March and April 2027.
