TUI's newest cruise ship launched with a little help from Becky Hill

Becky Hill has helped to celebrate the launch of Marella Cruises’ newest ship, Marella Voyager, in Malaga, Spain. The theme for the launch of Marella Cruises fifth ship was ‘golden hour’, which provided a fitting backdrop to Becky’s performance, which came moments after a beautiful sunset over Marella Cruises new ship and Malaga’s port.

As the countdown began to officially launch Marella Voyager, the ship’s two Godmothers, Tatyana Olkhovska, chief purser at Marella Cruises and Jacqui Nobile, senior destination services operations manager released the champagne bottle to christen the ship. Finally, a spectacular display of fireworks lit up the sky to close the show after her performance as guests to continued celebrating into the night.

Marella Voyager offers more choice and flexibility to customers with new venues onboard, including Silver Fork offering British classics with a twist; a new Mexican restaurant, Abuela’s, serving dishes such as tacos, burritos and nachos, as well as an out-of-the-way bar with some surprises, called The Exchange.

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.”

Marella Voyager has now set sail on her maiden customer voyage, departing from her homeport in Palma, Mallorca. Prices from £1333. The Highlights of the Mediterranean itinerary will visit a variety of ports in the Mediterranean, including Ajaccio, Corsica; Civitavecchia (for Rome), Italy; Livorno, Italy; St Raphael, France and Palamos, Spain before returning to Palma.
