Battle of the Decades: Marella’s Electric Sunsets Cruise Brings the 80s and 90s Back to Sea!

Cue the Cassette Tapes—Marella’s Electric Sunsets Cruise Returns for 2027

If your heart beats to synth-pop or you still know every word to a 90s boyband anthem, Marella Cruises has news that’s about to hit all the right notes. The beloved Electric Sunsets: 80s vs 90s themed cruise is making its grand return in April 2027, and it’s shaping up to be the ultimate throwback showdown at sea.

Back for its sixth year, this adults-only themed cruise will have you reliving the best beats of both decades, complete with legendary performers, themed parties, and that unbeatable Marella all-inclusive service. The headline acts are still under wraps for now, but they’ll be announced early next year. (We’re already guessing who might bring the boom-box energy onboard!)

The Marella Discovery sets sail on Wednesday, 28th April 2027, departing from Palma, calling at Valencia and Ibiza, before returning to Palma on Saturday, 1st May 2027. That’s three nights of nonstop music, dancing, and good vibes, no shoulder pads required (but highly encouraged).

Chris Hackney, CEO of Marella Cruises, shared the excitement:

“The return of the hotly anticipated ‘Electric Sunsets’ is exciting for our loyal cruise customers and new cruise customers alike. With the battle of 80s vs 90s music taking centre stage, we know these eras will bring back nostalgia and give customers a chance to see some top stars perform onboard.”

And because Marella always thinks of everything, cruisers can choose to extend their holiday with a cruise-and-stay package at select Majorca hotels, including Alua Soul Mallorca Resort, Astoria Playa Hotel, and Hotel Son Matias Beach, each offering that perfect post-party wind-down.

As always, Marella’s all-inclusive promise keeps things easy. Flights, transfers, tips, and service charges? All taken care of. Prices start from £799 per person, and bookings open Thursday, 30th October 2025.

So, whether you’re Team 80’s or Team 90’s, get ready to hit the dance floor under the stars. One thing’s for sure: this cruise will be totally electric.
