Marella Cruises, TUI UK & Ireland’s ocean cruise line, has extended its current contract with RWS Global to supply the end-to-end entertainment onboard Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2 for three years, through to the end of October 2028.
The current contract with RWS Global was extended after a five-month competitive pitch process involving three other potential entertainment providers.
RWS Global will be responsible for providing a turnkey entertainment service onboard the Marella Cruises fleet, ranging from kids’ clubs to full production West End-style theatre performances. This service is adaptive and caters to the needs of every guest. In tangent, RWS Global will also continue to create innovative and enhanced performances onboard these two ships providing family and seasonal entertainment throughout the year.
Luke Murphy, Senior Product Development Manager at Marella Cruises said: “Entertainment is a cornerstone of the Marella Cruises’ experience, and this continued collaboration with RWS Global will preserve the current strength of our offering whilst modernising the traditional cruise ship entertainment programme.
“We’re looking forward to continuing working with RWS Global to ensure customers have the best possible time on our ships. With the combination of our fantastic product, great destinations and friendly service on board, alongside our entertainment programme, we’re confident customers will return home with memories that last a lifetime.”
Ryan Stana, Chairman & CEO, RWS Global said: “We are absolutely thrilled to continue our partnership with Marella Cruises, delivering world-class entertainment for their guests. This extension is a testament to our shared vision of pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation at sea. Our teams are passionate about crafting unforgettable experiences to elevate the entertainment offering even further across Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2”
