Marella Explorer 2 joined the fleet in 2019 as an adults-only (18+) ship — a former Celebrity Galaxy refurbished for the British market. She operates year-round adults-only Mediterranean sailings from Palma and Corfu.
Explorer 2 is Marella's only adults-only ship and the primary British-market all-inclusive adults-only cruise product. There are no children on board, no children's clubs, and no family-oriented entertainment.
The onboard product retains the full Marella specialty-dining and Champneys spa programme under the all-inclusive fare structure.
