Marella Cruises has revealed that Marella Discovery 2 will move to adults-only from winter 2027, with the line turning the ship's existing kids spaces into a new speakeasy, an escape room, a karaoke room and an arts and crafts area.
The line announced this news as part of their winter 2027-2028 programme, which will see the fleet homeport across six European and Caribbean ports.
Marella Discovery 2 will sail the Canary Islands, homeporting in Tenerife and Gran Canaria from November 2027 to March 2028, then from Malaga from March 2028.
Marella Discovery will homeport in La Romana, Dominican Republic, from November 2027 to March 2028, then from Palma, Mallorca, from March to April 2028.
Marella Explorer will sail from Tenerife and Gran Canaria, joining Marella Discovery 2 in the Canary Islands.
Marella Voyager and Marella Explorer 2, the latter being the line's existing adults-only ship, will sail Caribbean itineraries, homeporting in Barbados. All voyages go on sale on July 2, 2026.
Chris Hackney, Marella Cruises' CEO, said: "Our winter 2027 programme will focus on the regeneration of Marella Discovery 2 returning as an adults-only ship for a second consecutive winter season. With demand for adults-only cruising continuing to grow, we're investing in four new onboard concepts to enhance the experience even further.
"Con nuevos itinerarios, estancias festivas de una noche, cruceros de reposicionamiento, cruceros transatlánticos y una expansión de 39 hoteles para nuestra oferta de crucero y estancia, seguimos evolucionando nuestras vacaciones para dar a los clientes más formas de navegar con Marella Cruises."
