Marella's Discovery 2 Sails to Canaries & Med for Winter
Starting November 7, Marella Cruises will homeport the Marella Discovery 2 in Malaga, Spain, for a series of winter sailings before moving to Tenerife and Gran Canaria in December 2024. Originally, the ship was scheduled to sail in Asia.
These new itineraries will be available for purchase starting May 23.
Chris Hackney, Managing Director of Cruise for TUI UK & I, commented: “We are delighted to offer these itineraries from two of our well-established homeports this winter. We know guests love the beautiful Canaries and Madeira. As Marella Cruises is part of TUI, we can offer incredible shore experiences with our destination teams, along with a great onboard experience. All of these itineraries include cruise and stay options, with excellent flight connections from various UK airports.”
He added, “We understand the disappointment caused by the cancellation of our Asia program on Marella Discovery 2, but we are confident that our diverse program offers something special for our customers.”
