  • I’m so excited to bring you part 1 of our fly-cruise with Marella onboard the latest ship in the fleet, Voyager! In this epic feature length docu-vlog filmed at the end of October, we start our journey at London Gatwick before flying off to Palma de Mallorca to join Marella Voyager. We’ll show you the fly-cruise process before boarding the ship and then it’s full steam ahead as we explore the ship over the course of the week trying all its facilities whilst also exploring the Mediterranean (on the itinerary we have Palma de Mallorca, Ajaccio, Rome, Pisa, Saint Raphael and Barcelona). So get comfy, grab a drink and some nibbles, and come sail with us on this epic Mediterranean adventure!

    I have been waiting for this video! I love smaller cruise ships like the Marella Voyager. Great video, I have two questions - does Marella have a solo cruiser program for people sailing solo and are most of the passengers from Britain, any other nationalities on board? Thanks

    • @TravelBlogJamie
      @TravelBlogJamie  10 месяцев назад +1

      Almost all from Britain, solo programme tends to be a hosted solo meet during first breakfast and people usually agree further meets at that point - it’s not the best programme (I’ve done it once before)

    Another great video, I have a bit of advice I need to ask if I may. Hubby and I are doing a 2 day miami stay and 7 day Caribbean cruise in March 2025. I Don,t want a particularly large ship and ideally I would prefer adults only. Would you recommend MSC, Princess, or Royal Caribbean or ANY cruise line at all. Like u and mafoo we would rather it was not too rowdy.
