Around 9.5 tonnes of Marella-branded items inclusive of  uniform and almost 1,000 show team costumes are already en-route to Spain.

There are tens of thousands of litres of paint, 2.9 kilometres of bathroom trims and mile-upon-mile of fabric that go into giving a 71,545 GRT ship a new look.

Guests will also be able to book an exclusive Marella treatment at the Champneys Spa that  offers a full-service thermal suite, treatment suites with their own showers and a beauty salon.
