Exeter Airport plans direct Barbados fly-cruise departure for 2027
The Marella Cruises package will pair a TUI Airways flight with a 14-night Caribbean sailing aboard Marella Explorer 2.

Exeter Airport plans to offer a direct fly-cruise service to Bridgetown, Barbados, on December 9, 2027, in partnership with Marella Cruises and TUI Airways. The package is linked to a 14-night, adults-only cruise with all-inclusive dining and drinks.
Marella Explorer 2 is scheduled to operate the sailing, which combines two itineraries. The planned calls include Guadeloupe, St Lucia, the Grenadines, Tobago, Grenada, the British Virgin Islands, Antigua, St Maarten, St Kitts and Dominica.
The package includes flights, transfers, meals and drinks. Customers may also add a seven-night hotel stay in Barbados either before or after the cruise.
Prices for the December 9 departure begin at £1,929 per person when two guests share an inside cabin.
