Two-week winter sun break combining Marella Cruises’ Marella Discovery 2 with a seven night hotel stay in Tenerife, this sits in the mainstream, fly-cruise space alongside brands like P&O and MSC. The appeal is a single itinerary that mixes a fixed-base week for beach time and exploring Tenerife with a cruise week for island-hopping, without the constant repacking you get on back to back hotels. Marella Discovery 2 is one of Marella’s larger ships, aimed at UK travellers who want an easy-going vibe, familiar entertainment, and a simple dining set-up rather than formal nights and big crowds.
Who suits an Island Explorer cruise plus a Tenerife stay?
It works best if you want a bit of everything: a proper pool-and-relax week, then ports and sea days with organised shore options. It can also suit first-time cruisers, because the hotel stay breaks up the trip and gives you time to settle in before sailing.
- Date: sailing and stay start 11 December 2026, useful if you are planning annual leave early
- Length: 14 nights total, split between Tenerife and the cruise
