12th January 2023 – Marella Cruises’ Marella Explorer 2 will be featured in two forthcoming episodes of Channel 5’s ‘Cruising with Susan Calman’, which will air on Friday 13th January and Friday 20th January at 8pm.

Viewers will see Susan discover the wide variety of facilities onboard the adults-only ship, including dining, entertainment, activities and more. Wining and dining at the Surf & Turf Steakhouse speciality restaurant, to pressing for bubbles at Flutes champagne bar, getting a sneak-peek of the Royal Suite and attempting a hole-in-one during a competitive game of minigolf on the ship’s top deck are just a few activities brought to life in the episodes.

Sailing on the Greek Mystique and Adriatic Affair itineraries, the two episodes filmed on board Marella Explorer 2 will take a deep dive into Greece’s hotspots and its ancient history in Corfu, Chania, Athens and more, where Susan visits some of the world’s most iconic landmarks, including the Acropolis of Athens. The programme will also follow Susan as she visits the beautiful walled city of Dubrovnik, Croatia and experiences sailing into Kotor, Montenegro at sunrise, surrounded by its incredible, towering fjords.

Chris Hackney, Managing Director Cruise, TUI UK&I says: “It was a pleasure to welcome Susan and the team on board Marella Explorer 2 to discover life at sea with us. It’s great for viewers to get an insight into the world of cruise holidays. We hope these episodes help to inspire new and returning guests to book a getaway with us this soon.”
