Marella Cruises has added 70 excursions to its Caribbean programme for winter 2026, including a 56mph zip line in St Maarten and steelpan lessons in Tobago.
The new experiences will be available across Marella Discovery, Marella Explorer 2 and Marella Voyager, sailing from La Romana in the Dominican Republic and Bridgetown in Barbados.
Other new excursions include wind-powered land yachting in Bonaire and a salsa and music workshop in Puerto Rico.
The Flying Dutchman zip line experience (pictured above) in St Maarten costs £98 per adult, while steelpan lessons with local musicians in Tobago cost £59 per adult.
Guests can also visit Window Cave in Puerto Rico (pictured below), with prices from £88 per adult and £79 per child, or take the Sugar City Trolley Train tour of Basseterre in St Kitts, priced at £38
The excursions can be booked through the Destination Services desk onboard or via Cruise Control before departure.
Marella Cruises CEO Chris Hackney said: “Our itineraries are designed to make the most of time in port so customers can really get under the skin of each destination on each sailing. We’re already seeing strong early demand for these new experiences, with the Flying Dutchman zip line in St Maarten proving particularly popular and over 60% of places already sold.
“We’ve chosen experiences that go beyond the usual sightseeing and connect customers with the culture of each island, whether that’s learning salsa in Ponce, where the music has shaped salsa around the world or playing steelpan with local musicians in Tobago.
“These additions give customers even more ways to try something new ashore, while still enjoying the ease and value of our all-inclusive fly cruise holidays.”
