It is no secret that I love a Marella cruise — I have taken eight, and I am sure I will book more!
Marella offers good value for money, with flights, transfers, and a range of drinks (including alcoholic drinks) all included in the cruise fare.
Marella often has discount codes you can use, and sometimes you can save hundreds of pounds.
– and the best thing? At my travel agency, we can use these codes to get you the best possible deal on a Marella or TUI river cruise!
If you want to find your own codes and share them with us, that’s okay, but we are more than happy to find and apply them for you.
Just let us know what cruise you’re interested in, and we will do the rest. It doesn’t cost more to use an agent and often costs less.

Marella Discount Code List
Look at the terms and conditions of each offer, and if your sailing meets the criteria, you will be able to get a discount.
Marella often has discount codes you can apply at checkout; sometimes you can save hundreds of pounds
Contact my travel agency, and we will use these codes to get you the best possible deal on a Marella or TUI river cruise!
It won’t cost you any more, it may cost you less – and you will have travel agent support to give you advice, and sort out any problems or issues – if you were to have any.
You or your agent will usually have to physically enter the code quoted into the discount code box – the discounts aren’t automatically applied.
Extra Marella Discounts Available on Black Friday and Boxing Day
Marella often offers discount codes on Black Friday or Boxing Day.
Black Friday is a great time to book a cruise. But if you have specific dates or destinations in mind, book up quickly, as popular itineraries can sell out quickly.
Boxing Day is another great time to use a discount code to grab a bargain. That is the start of the busy “Wave Season”.
“Wave Season” (as it is known in the cruise world) is the period between Christmas and March when most cruisers book their cruise holidays.
Marella offers discount codes to encourage cruisers to book. If you book through my travel agent, they will be aware of any discount codes available and will get you the best possible deal.
What many people don’t realise is that Marella often has discount codes, which, when entered at the time of booking, can save you hundreds of pounds.
Marella Cruises I Have Taken
I have taken many cruises with Marella over the years, and I have always really enjoyed them.
At the time of writing, they aren’t sailing from the UK, all their cruises are fly cruises.
This wasn’t always the case, though. In the past, I took a “Baltic Adventure” cruise from Southampton and had an amazing time. I am hoping they might start sailing from the UK again in the future!

If you are travelling with family or friends, it might be worth asking my agent to make two separate bookings, as the discount is per booking, not per person.
When I travel with my parents, we always do that. It makes no difference to us that we aren’t on the same booking, and our savings are doubled!
When I wanted to take my cousin on a cruise recently, Marella seemed the perfect choice.
We hadn’t sailed together since we were children, and I wanted a relaxed cruise that she would enjoy – but I didn’t want too many additional charges on top of the cruise fare.
Marella fitted the bill perfectly, as all drinks and gratuities are included at standard.
We sailed in the Mediterranean over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend on Marella’s adult-only cruise ship, Marella Explorer 2.
Find out what we both thought of that cruise here:
I took my mum on a peak season cruise on Marella’s newest ship, Marella Voyager. She fast became my favourite ship in the Marella fleet!
I enjoyed it so much, I booked another cruise on her whilst still onboard!

Similar Discounts Apply On TUI River Cruises
As TUI River Cruises are owned by the same parent company as Marella, they offer similar discount codes to apply in the same way.
I got a great discount on my Christmas Markets river cruise. I got a suite for the same price as a standard balcony as there was a discount code available for suite bookings.
Discount codes also work for booking TUI River cruises, as they are part of the same company. When searching on the website, just select River Cruises, not Marella Cruises.
This river cruise wasn’t without its issues, though. Dangerously high water levels caused last-minute changes in the itinerary, and we had to fly to a different airport than originally planned.
Luckily, as TUI includes all flights and transfers within the cruise fare, these changes were their problem, not mine!

I would highly recommend that you book your TUI river cruise through my travel agency.
Discount codes can save hundreds of pounds. At my travel agency we can use these codes to get you the best possible deal on a TUI river cruise.
TUI and other river cruise lines have recently had major itinerary issues, due to low water levels in European waterways.
While nothing can be done about water levels, by booking through a trusted travel agent, if the worst happens and your river cruise itinerary is changed completely, your agent can rebook you on another cruise or help you get a refund if you prefer.
I have heard many horror stories about travellers being on hold for hours, trying to sort out problems with their river cruise bookings! Why put yourself through that stress?
If you book through an agent, it won’t cost you less, and they will sort out any issues on your behalf.
