Island Explorer

8th December 2025
7 nights
Sail From: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

There’s a suitably grown-up feel to this adults-only ship. We’ve cherry-picked some of the facilities from its sister ship Marella Explorer, like The Dining Club and Indigo Bar, Club and Casino. But there are some special one-offs, too, like themed bars and eateries.
