Marella Cruises (anteriormente Thomson Cruises) es una línea de cruceros británica operada por TUI UK, que ofrece vacaciones en crucero por Europa, el Caribe y Asia.

Historia

La compañía había ingresado inicialmente al mercado de cruceros en 1973, pero debido al aumento de los costos del combustible, la empresa se canceló en 1976. En 1995, Thomson reinició su línea de cruceros después de que su competidor Airtours ingresara con éxito en el negocio de cruceros bajo su marca Sun Cruises. El 9 de octubre de 2017, TUI Group anunció que Thomson Cruises pasaría a llamarse a finales de octubre de 2017 como Marella Cruises, y toda la flota existente de Thomson adoptaría el cambio de nombre de Thomson o TUI a Marella (excepto Thomson Spirit, que pasará a llamarse Spirit y Thomson Majesty que será transferido a Celestyal Cruises). La línea también anunció que establecería el TUI Discovery en Asia para la temporada de invierno de 2018, con el barco basado en Malasia, el primero en la historia de la línea.[1]

En 2012, Marella Cruises posee aproximadamente una cuota de mercado del 1% de la industria mundial de cruceros.[2]

En mayo de 2021, mientras el sector de cruceros planeaba reactivarse tras la pandemia de COVID-19, se informó que TUI planeaba fusionar Marella Cruises con su empresa conjunta TUI Cruises con Royal Caribbean, como ya lo habían hecho con Hapag-LLoyd Cruises.[3]

Flota

MS Island Escape se agregó a la flota de Thomson en abril de 2009, como resultado de la adquisición por parte de la empresa matriz TUI de la participación de Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. en Island Cruises que tuvo lugar en 2008.[4]​ En marzo de 2013, Thomson opera Island Escape bajo su marca Island Cruises con todo incluido.

En marzo de 2015, Royal Caribbean International anunció que había acordado vender Splendor of the Seas a TUI Cruises en el segundo trimestre de 2016, y que TUI arrendaría el barco a Thomson Cruises para reemplazar el Island Escape.[5]

In May 2015, TUI Group announced that as part of their modernization strategy, TUI Cruises' Mein Schiff 1 and Mein Schiff 2 would be transferred to Thomson Cruises over the next few years.[6]

In October 2015, the Island Cruise brand was discontinued after the sole ship Island Escape completed her last scheduled cruise with Thomson Cruises.

In March 2017, it was announced that Mein Schiff 1 would join the fleet in May 2018, and would become the TUI Explorer.

In July 2017, Thomson had announced that they would be extending the Thomson Spirit Lease until October 2018, and she will be based out of Palma for 18 April and then based in Malaga from May 2018 with her last cruise being on 21 October 2018.

In March 2018, it was announced that Royal Caribbean Cruises and Ctrip were to close the SkySea Cruise Line brand and that the line's sole ship SkySea Golden Era would join the Marella fleet in place of Mein Schiff 2 which would stay with TUI Cruises.[7][8]​ The former Mein Schiff 2 was renamed Mein Schiff Herz and joined the Marella fleet in 2023 as Marella Voyager.

In April 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it was announced that Marella Celebration would be immediately retired from the fleet.[9]​ The same was announced for Marella Dream in October 2020.[10]​ Both ships were scrapped in Aliaga, Turkey, in 2022.
