Marella Cruises brings back trade incentive to win Caribbean cruise

Marella Cruises has brought back its ‘Make it on Marella’ incentive for a second year, offering agents the chance to win a place on a Caribbean cruise in 2026.

The booking incentive will run between June 2 and December 31 and the top 20 agents, along with five wildcards agents, will win a seven-night trip on board Marella Discovery departing on March 3, 2026.

To enter, agents need to submit Marella Cruises package bookings via a digital form, and a live leaderboard will be put together to track progress.

The voyage will be hosted by representatives from Marella Cruises and sail from La Romana in the Dominican Republic on a Tropical Isles itinerary calling in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

The prize will include flights, transfers and tips, as well as all-inclusive food and drink as standard.

Last year, almost a thousand agents submitted bookings and this year the line is hoping to see more entries from independent agents.

Marella Cruises managing director Chris Hackney said: “We are excited to be returning with our trade incentive for a second year, offering 25 places onboard Marella Discovery in 2026.

“Not only do we want to reward our valued travel agents an immersive trip onboard our ships, but this is a great opportunity to further understand what they can offer to their customers, whilst also experiencing our great Caribbean itineraries.”
