Inside Cabins – compact, cosy, and cost-effective

If you’re looking for great value without sacrificing comfort, an Inside Cabin is a smart choice. These cabins are simple, stylish, and equipped with everything you need for a restful night’s sleep.

While Inside Cabins don’t have windows, the clever use of mirrors and lighting makes them feel bright and airy. They’re perfect for travellers who plan to spend most of their time enjoying the ship’s entertainment, restaurants, and shore excursions – and less time in their room.

A lot of people love them too because of how good a sleep you can get, with no natural light to wake you up!

Best for: Budget-conscious travellers and those who want to prioritise ship amenities over room features.

Outside Cabins – sea views at a great price

Want a view of the ocean without stretching your budget? An Outside Cabin offers all the essentials of an Inside Cabin, with the added bonus of a porthole or picture window.

These cabins provide natural light, making them feel brighter and more open. Waking up to a view of the sea – or even glimpsing your next destination as you approach – is a special part of the cruise experience.

Best for: Travellers who love waking up to sea views but don’t need a balcony.

Balcony Cabins – fresh air, private views, and a space to call your own

For those who want to make the most of their time at sea, a Balcony Cabin is the way to go. Step out onto your own private balcony and breathe in the fresh sea air as you sail to your next destination.

These cabins give you your own little slice of the outside world – perfect for a morning coffee or sunset drinks with a view.

They offer more space than standard Inside and Outside Cabins, making them ideal if you want a little extra room to spread out.

Best for: Couples, scenic cruisers, and anyone who wants a little luxury.

Suites – space, luxury, and the ultimate cruise experience

If you’re looking to cruise in style, a Suite is as luxurious as it gets. Marella’s Suites are the largest and most indulgent cabins on board, with more space, enhanced decor, and added extras like a separate living area.

Suites also come with Marella’s Suite Service, which lets you enjoy a free continental breakfast in bed (once per week) and a free pressing service for up to three items during your cruise. With large balconies, scenic views, and lounge-style furnishings, these Suites are perfect for those wanting a first-class experience.

Best for: Honeymooners, special occasions, and anyone who wants the ultimate in comfort.

Deluxe Cabins – a little extra luxury for less

If you like the idea of suite-style luxury but don’t want to go all-in on a Suite, a Deluxe Cabin is the perfect middle ground.

These cabins (available on select ships) are larger than standard cabins and come with thoughtful extras to make your cruise even more comfortable.

You’ll get upgraded decor, more space to stretch out, and – in many cases – a balcony to enjoy the sea breeze. It’s an affordable way to upgrade your experience.

Best for: Couples and cruisers who want an upgrade without the full Suite price tag.

Single Cabins – solo cruising made simple

Travelling solo? Marella Cruises makes it easy for solo adventurers with dedicated Single Cabins.

A cozy single cabin on a Marella cruise ship featuring a neatly made bed with white linens and blue accent pillows. The room includes a small sitting area with a round table, a dresser with a mirror, and a TV mounted on the wall, all accented with warm, neutral tones and modern decor.

These thoughtfully designed cabins offer all the same comforts as standard Inside and Outside Cabins, but with a layout that’s perfect for one.

Single Cabins are available as both Inside and Outside options, giving you the flexibility to choose between a budget-friendly retreat or the added luxury of a sea view. They’re the perfect option if you’re looking for privacy, simplicity, and a space to call your own.

Best for: Solo travellers looking for value, comfort, and their own space.

What’s included in Marella cabins?

No matter which cabin you choose, Marella ensures you have all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Here’s what’s included as standard:

Air conditioning to keep you cool, no matter the weather
Fluffy towels and fresh bedding – just like a hotel
Flat-screen TV to stay entertained during downtime
Tea and coffee-making facilities for your morning brew – not something you’ll find on every cruise line!
Ensuite bathroom with a selection of toiletries included

On top of that, all cabins are cleaned daily by Marella’s friendly housekeeping team, so you can return to a fresh, tidy space after a day of exploring.

Cabins are bright and comfortably decorated, with each ship given a complete refurbishment when they joined the fleet.

Following the successful refurbishment of a selection of cabins onboard Marella Discovery, Marella Discovery 2 also underwent a recent renovation which saw 370 cabins get an update, with new furniture, updated bathrooms and the addition of some vibrant new artwork.
