Two-time Brit Awards winner, singer and songwriter, Becky Hill performed at an exclusive ceremony to celebrate the launch of Marella Cruises’ newest ship, Marella Voyager, in Malaga, Spain. ITTN’s Shane Cullen plus guests from the Irish travel trade joined TUI Ireland onboard for a 2-night trip from Malaga to Palma where she will be homeporting for the summer season this year.
Becky Hill Lights Up the Stage at Sunset
Becky surprised guests with a 45-minute set, playing many of her much-loved hits including ’Afterglow’ and ’Wish You Well’, plus her latest single ‘Side Effects’.
The theme for the launch of Marella Cruises’ fifth ship was ‘golden hour’ with Becky’s performance following a stunning sunset at Malaga’s port. A spectacular display of fireworks lit up the sky to close the show after her performance as everyone continued celebrating into the night.
Becky Hill, singer and songwriter, commented: “The energy from the crowd last night for the launch of Marella Voyager was amazing! There’s nothing quite like performing live in front of an audience who are ready to party… with my ‘You Me Us’ Pool Party residency having just kicked off in Ibiza Rocks as well, I’m sure this is going to be a summer to remember!”
A1 Entertainment Onboard Marella Voyager
On the second night, the late-90s boyband A1 took to the stage for the second night of the Marella Voyager which proved a popular blast from the past as nostalgic fans swayed to the rhythm. If you’re not quite as old as me, you may have caught them on The Big Reunion with Eternal, Gareth Gates and a few more from that vintage of music.
Marella Voyager offers more choice and flexibility to TUI customers with new venues onboard, including Silver Fork offering British classics with a twist; a new Mexican restaurant, Abuela’s, serving dishes such as tacos, burritos and nachos, as well as an out-of-the-way bar with some surprises, called The Exchange.
Managing Director of Marella Cruises, Chris Hackney, said: “The launch of Marella Voyager marks an exciting moment in time for us, so it was an honour to have Becky Hill join us in celebrating such a fantastic night. The audience loved her, and the evening was a true celebration of the hard work and dedication that has gone into Voyager’s debut.”
“Marella Voyager is part of our strategic vision to continually modernise and grow our fleet. We pride ourselves on continuing to offer more for our customers, whether that’s new ships, new destinations, our all-inclusive as standard offering and fantastic, friendly service.”
