Detailed answer
Marella Voyager was built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, and entered service on Monday 27 October 1997 as Mercury for Celebrity Cruises. It became Celebrity Mercury in 2008, moved to TUI Cruises as Mein Schiff 2 in 2011 and was renamed Mein Schiff Herz in 2019. After a refit at Navantia in Cadiz it joined Marella Cruises in 2023 as Marella Voyager. Wikipedia gives a gross tonnage of 77,302, a length of 264 metres and 1,912 passengers, and CruiseMapper gives a crew of 909. When it joined Marella the line added a Mexican restaurant and the Secret Speakeasy Bar alongside fleet favourites such as Nonna's, the Snack Shack and the Surf and Turf steakhouse. Marella holidays are all-inclusive as standard, with tips and service charges included in the price. The port listing expects about 1,912 passengers, mainly British.
How busy will town be?
The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.
Can you sail on it from nearby?
Not on this call. The visit on Sunday 2 May 2027 is part of the 16-night Atlantic Venture from Bridgetown, Barbados, which leaves on Sunday 18 April 2027, calls at Dominica, Antigua, Ponta Delgada in the Azores and Lisbon before Gibraltar, and ends in Palma on Tuesday 4 May 2027. From Palma the ship sails seven-night round trips through summer 2027, and for winter 2027 Marella has announced Caribbean itineraries from Barbados. Marella sells its cruises to UK customers, and its cruise and stay holidays fly from 12 regional UK airports on TUI Airways.
