Marella Discovery Caribbean cruise all-inclusive from £1,299

Seven nights sailing around the southern Caribbean islands with flights from the UK included sounds like the kind of escape that justifies raiding the holiday fund. Marella Discovery keeps things relatively intimate at 1,800 passengers — a rarity these days.

The deal

TUI's Marella Discovery, 7 nights departing Bridgetown, Barbados. You'll visit St Lucia, Grenada, Tobago and Bonaire. All-inclusive from £1,299 per person, which covers your flights from the UK, on-board meals, drinks and entertainment. The smaller ship size means considerably less time queuing for the buffet or waiting for a deckchair.

Why we like it

The all-in pricing is genuinely useful — no hidden resort fees or surprise drinks charges once you're aboard. Caribbean itineraries that island-hop properly are harder to find than you'd think, and this one hits four proper stops rather than just anchoring off a couple of beach resorts.

The 1,800-capacity vessel is a legitimate selling point if you've sailed on the floating cities. You'll actually recognise people at dinner and won't spend half your days navigating corridors like you're in a shopping centre.

Watch the fine print on what "all-inclusive" covers — specialty restaurants or premium drinks packages sometimes aren't included. Also check your dates carefully; school holidays will push prices higher than the advertised per-person rate.

How to book

This is a TUI package, so you'll organise everything through them — flights, transfers, cabin selection, the lot. Check availability for your preferred sailing dates, as Caribbean cruises shift pricing seasonally. Early booking usually softens the blow if the advertised rate has moved on.
