Marella Cruises MARELLA DISCOVERY II was scheduled to operate in the Mediterranean after her winter season based in Singapore.
The MARELLA DISCOVERY II is still scheduled to start her Mediterranean itineraries based in Palma, Mallorca on the 07 May 2024 with a 14 night cruise.
With the MARELLA DISCOVERY II now having to transit via the Cape it's not been confirmed if the 07 May sailing from Palma will go ahead as planned.
I'm sure that Marella Cruises are looking at alternative options for redeployment of the MARELLA DISCOVERY II for the 2024/25 winter season. My bets are on her being sent to the Caribbean instead of returning to Singapore for the winter season.
