Cosmopolitan Classics

You’ll find this trendy Italian restaurant on the second floor of the ship’s main dining room. It’s a laid-back place, where bookings aren’t necessary, and its designer look features a colour scheme inspired by the sunset.

The main restaurant is a big, stylish venue, finished in the colours of the sand and the sea. The modern menu consists of home favourites and international flavours, and meals come with a side-order of sea views, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. It also hosts The Great Musical Afternoon Tea, for an extra charge. This weekly event brings the West End to Marella Cruises, with dishes inspired by famous musicals – like the ‘Vietnamese Melody’ beef tenderloin yakitori and the ‘On My Own’ petit choux. There are six teas to choose from, as well as a cocktail of your choice. Plus, the whole place is decorated with show posters and memorabilia.

Big buffet spreads are laid out in this restaurant, with show-cooking stations on-hand to offer things like breakfast omelettes, and carvery roasts in the evening. You can grab snacks in between meals, too.
