YouTube Video Description↓

In April 2025 we boarded our first ever Marella cruise in Palma for a 7 night Magical Mediterannean itinerary. In this first video, we take you through everything that happened on our embarkation day, from flights right through to trying out speaciality dining in Kora La. Marella is the UK's 3rd largest cruise line, operating fly cruises from across Europe and the Caribbean. It is an all-inclusive cruise line, making it different to every other cruise line that we've tried so far. We're super excited to try Marella for the first time and find out if we'd become Marella converts! #marellacruises #marella #cruise Follow us on social media - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sistersontheseas Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sistersontheseas Our Blog - www.sistersontheseas.com
