Marella Explorer Life on Board

The entertainment onboard Marella Explorer doesn't disappoint. Not only does it have the biggest ever Broadway Show Lounge, it also boasts the flash, new 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.

The Lounge

A colour-changing feature bar, hot-pink piano and funky, ring-shaped seats take their place in this eye-catching lounge bar. You can admire the views, while listening to the soothing soundtrack of the live pianist.

53

The clue’s in the name here. This bar is right next to Latitude 53, so it’s perfectly placed for some pre-dinner drinks.

The Shack

This deck bar provides cool-down drinks in between sunbathing. You’ll find it just above Snack Shack, overlooking the pool.

Bar @ The Mediterranean

This feature bar wraps around The Mediterranean – running from the inside to the outside. It’s the place to come for Mediterranean specialities, as well as your usual drinks and frozen cocktails.

Indigo Bar

Indigo lays claim to the longest bar in the fleet. Flare demonstrations and cocktail-making sessions take place here. There’s also plenty of seating around the bar’s edge, where you can take in the 360-degree views – day or night.

Broadway Show Lounge

With a capacity of 1,000 people, this show lounge is big enough to rival a Broadway theatre. And that’s not all it’s got going for it. There are brand-new shows on offer, plus it’s waiter service, so you can get a drink without missing a thing.

Indigo Casino

If you’re feeling lucky, you can try out the slot machines and card tables at the Indigo Casino.

Indigo Club

You’ll find the club in the middle of Indigo. It flaunts a dancefloor and a DJ booth, as well as an extra bar.

Apertif

Smoky and fruit-infused cocktails are on the menu at this speakeasy-style bar. It’s a great spot to head before or after a meal at one of the speciality restaurants.

Venue

There’s always something going on at Venue. By day, you can get stuck in with the likes of dance classes. Evenings, meanwhile, are taken care of by live music, virtual bands, quizzes and game shows. Plus, the lounge hosts the interactive Splash Live show for children in high season. Bar-wise, you’ve got two to pick from, including one with a huge range of beers.

The Cinema

Movie nights come courtesy of the indoor cinema. Family-friendly films are on the agenda, with extra screenings during high season.

Gamer Zone

Everyone can play games at the aptly named Gamer Zone. It’s fully stocked with a variety of machines and is right next to The Hide Out.

Broad Street Shops

When the ship’s at sea, it’s time to hit the shops. The onboard boutiques are stocked with everyday essentials and loads of duty-free products, including perfume, jewellery and souvenirs.

Photo Studio and Kiosks

Pop in to the studio on Deck 6 for a professional photoshoot. You’ll also find kiosks, where you can view and buy all the photos captured by our onboard photography team.

Destination Services

If you want to find out more about our ports of call and excursions, come and chat to our Destination Services team. They’ve got guides and maps to help you find your way around. And you can book your next cruise with them, too. You’ll find them onboard by Reception.

Champneys Spa and Beauty Salon

Marella Cruises has partnered with Champneys to bring you this state-of-the-art spa. Like at any other Champneys spa, you can book in for treatments, like facials, body wraps and massages, plus there’s a beauty salon. The spa doesn’t scrimp on size. In fact, it’s the biggest in the fleet – packing in a relaxation room, made-for-two suites and treatment cabins with hot tubs. There’s also an adults-only sauna with floor-to-ceiling windows and a steam room. Alternatively, you can work up a sweat with the sea in sight at the gym.

Champneys Gym

You can work up a sweat with the sea in sight at the gym. And, because it's run by Champneys, you can join in with top fitness classes, like yoga and indoor cycling.

Mini Golf

Practise your putt on this minigolf green. It's right at the top of the ship on the Sports & Family Deck.

Sun Deck and Pool Area

The pool area on Deck 11 has two outdoor pools and three whirlpools with plenty of lounge chairs. 

If you are looking for a private place to relax on board, then the quiet relaxation islands on Deck 14 are just right for you. Ten Relaxation islands are available for rent. These mini-balconies offer unrestricted views of the sea.

The promenade decks on deck 6 and 7 invite you to enjoy the fresh breeze! 

The Veranda

Cocoon chairs and Balinese beds give The Veranda a luxe, adults-only feel. Plus, it’s at the back of the ship, so the views are first-class.
