Marella Cruises has increased the capacity of its cruise-and-stay hotel portfolio by 59% in its summer 2024 programme, which is now on sale.
The Tui hotels on offer can be tagged on either before or after a cruise in eight destinations.
The Tui-owned cruise line will also offer Turkey itineraries as it will feature Marmaris as a homeport for the first time in nine years.
The 2024 programme will feature two new ports, with Marella Explorer (pictured) calling at Oristano in Sardinia and Motril in Spain at the end of winter, before starting its summer sailings in Corfu.
Chris Hackney, managing director of cruise for Tui UK & Ireland, said: “Whether you’re a regular cruiser or new to cruising, Cruise & Stay is an excellent way to holiday.
“The flexibility allows guests to enjoy the best of both worlds, giving them the chance explore several destinations on a cruise, but also the opportunity to spend some time ashore in a destination of their choice.
“All our properties are researched and handpicked from Tui’s range to best suit customers’ preferences, and there’s more than 200 hotels to choose from.”
The itineraries from Marmaris include Ottoman Odyssey, Ancient Icons, Undiscovered Aegean and Aegean Jewels, visiting popular sites in Cyprus, Turkey, Greece and Israel.
Turkey itineraries from Marmaris are due to go on sale in December.
