Marella Explorer 2

The beautiful Marella Explorer 2 offers her guests truly fantastic cruising opportunities. She is an all-inclusive ship, with over 40% of cabins boasting balconies, and can accommodate over 1,800 passengers. Possibly the most important aspect however, is that she is reserved for adults only. 
While Marella Explorer 2 is the sister ship to family-friendly Marella Explorer, and does offer many of the same facilities, there is an undeniable focus on providing the perfect setting for a relaxed, adult-only holiday experience. Venues like The Veranda - a popular onboard social space - are larger, enabling guests more opportunity to get to know each other and spend time engaging in interesting conversation, enjoying drinks and light bites, and simply making the most of the sun and ocean views.
