YOU MAY have seen a new player in the holiday market recently: TUI. It’s actually not a new company, but the new name for the popular Thomson travel brand. And, for those who have previously booked with Thomson Cruises, you’ll now find all the things you’ve enjoyed on their holidays as before – but now they are simply known as Marella Cruises.

Sailing to over 200 destinations around the world, with new Asia cruises for winter 2018 taking in Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and Vietnam, most of the sailing is done overnight so you can enjoy more time exploring in port.

Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2 are state-of-the-art ships added to the fleet in the past two years, while Marella Explorer will debut this year, featuring an exclusive Champneys Spa – a first at sea. Travel in home-from-home comfort with friendly, genuine flawless service throughout your holiday, whether that’s in the on-board spa, restaurants or any of the other activities and entertainment on your ship – and tips and service are included, so no need to budget for extras.

Here’s a taster of the kind of fantastic holiday you could enjoy with Marella Cruises – a culture-rich, Red Sea cruise on Marella Discovery.
