Who is the target audience for Marella?

Marella Cruises are ideal for families because of their range of entertainment and amenity options; children can enjoy the Kids' Club which caters for 3 to 11 year olds.



Marella Cruises, a British cruise line owned by the TUI Group, specifically targets British travelers who are looking for a relaxed, "home-away-from-home" atmosphere with excellent value. Their audience primarily consists of couples, retirees, and families who prefer the convenience of an all-inclusive model (where tips and most drinks are included in the fare) and flights departing from regional UK airports. Starting in the summer of 2026, Marella is narrowing its focus for certain ships, such as the Marella Discovery, to be exclusively adult-only, catering to a growing demand for tranquil, child-free environments. The onboard experience is distinctly British, featuring familiar touches like Yorkshire tea, HP sauce, and West End-style entertainment. This makes it an ideal choice for "new-to-cruise" guests who might find American-style mega-ships overwhelming, as Marella offers a more intimate, friendly service that emphasizes ease of travel and traditional British hospitality.
