Marella Explorer 2 – Equivalent to four cruise interior refits for outfitter Trimline

The recent transformation of Golden Era into Marella Explorer 2 was the equivalent of four refits in one for global cruise interior outfitter Trimline.

This was the latest in a line of successful interior rebrands carried out by Trimline for Marella Cruises, including Marella Explorer last year and, Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2 prior to that.

THE BRIEF

As the main interior outfitter onboard, Trimline was responsible for the majority of the public spaces including, Indigo, The Marketplace, Coffee Ports, Squid & Anchor, Broadway & Broadway Bar and Latitude/Vista.
