🛳️😎 Real Customer Experiences 🛳️😎

My lovely customer, Sharon recently travelled onboard Marella Cruises with her family.

They sailed from Dubrovnik onboard Explorer 2 on the Adriatic Delights itinerary and visited Trieste, Koper, Zadar, Split and Kotor. To say that they loved their trip is a bit of an understatement. The family were delighted with their experience. Here is some of what Sharon had to say about her holiday along with some of her own photos.

"It's really nice ship. Staff were fantastic. Food was 10/10. It really was a great choice. No fighting for sunbeds, the pool was accessible until 8pm. The spa wasn't overpriced. Service was great and choice of drinks was good - no need to upgrade. I'd definitely do another Marella Cruise."

Marella Cruises provide excellent value for money and some great itineraries too. If you'd like to talk about Marella in more detail, give me a call.

🚨⚓ BREAKING CRUISE NEWS – QUEEN ANNE IS LEAVING CUNARD! ⚓🚨

Some huge news from the cruise world tonight… 👀

👑 Queen Anne is set to leave Cunard and join P&O Cruises in 2029.

She’ll complete her final Cunard World Voyage in 2028/29 before undergoing a major transformation, being reimagined and renamed, and beginning her new chapter with P&O Cruises from May 2029. 🚢✨

Her new name hasn’t been revealed yet, so there’s still plenty more news to come!

And that’s not the only big change…

⚓ Arcadia will also leave P&O Cruises, completing her farewell season before transferring to Holland America Line in August 2029.

So we’re looking at a major Carnival fleet reshuffle:

➡️ Queen Anne: Cunard ➡️ P&O Cruises
➡️ Arcadia: P&O Cruises ➡️ Holland America Line

Queen Anne only entered service with Cunard in 2024, so this is going to come as a real surprise to plenty of Cunard fans.

Cunard will then return to a three-ship fleet of:

👑 Queen Mary 2
👑 Queen Victoria
👑 Queen Elizabeth

What do you think? 🤔

Are you excited to see what P&O Cruises does with Queen Anne, or do you think she belongs with Cunard?

👇 Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
