The seven-night round-trip Highlights of the Mediterranean itinerary will depart Palma and call at Corsica, Rome, Livorno, St Raphael and Palamos.
Managing director of Marella Cruises Chris Hackney said: “The launch of Marella Voyager marks an exciting moment in time for us so it was an honour to have Becky Hill join us in celebrating such a fantastic night.
“The audience loved her and the evening was a true celebration of the hard work and dedication that has gone into Voyager’s debut.
“Marella Voyager is part of our strategic vision to continually modernise and grow our fleet.
“We pride ourselves on continuing to offer more for our customers, whether that’s new ships, new destinations, our all-inclusive as standard offering and fantastic, friendly service.”
