Its summer 2021 programme will call at 11 new ports – Canaveral, Charleston, New York, Freeport, Norfolk, Key West, Miami, Tampa, Nassau, Fort Lauderdale and New Orleans. 

Customers sailing on its American Dream and Big Apple Adventure itineraries from Port Canaveral will enjoy an overnight stop in New York, with an opportunity to visit with The Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and Central Park.

The Sunshine States and Sands itinerary, meanwhile, stops near South Beach in Miami or Grand Turk in Turks and Caicos.

Guests can also enjoy seven or 14-night options, with a stay in Tampa, on Marella’s Floridian Favourites itinerary.

All four itineraries can be extended, with cruise-and-stay packages available in Orlando. 

Additionally, the new 12-night Sunshine and Jazz option heads to New Orleans for three days.

Chris Hackney, managing director of cruise for Tui UK and Ireland, said: “We’re really excited to be setting sail from the US.

“Expanding our programme provides an opportunity for cruisers to sample the American Dream, and we’ve ensured there really is something for everyone – whether that’s a visit to Walt Disney World in Florida, an evening in New York, authentic jazz music in New Orleans or a rollercoaster in Busch Gardens.”

The four new itineraries will go on sale on Thursday (7 November).
