Marella Cruises has unveiled Piccadilly's, a new gastropub concept restaurant rolling out across its entire fleet this month.
The dining venue forms part of the cruise line's all-inclusive offering and promises to deliver British classics reimagined with contemporary flair. The 250-seat restaurant represents the third new dining concept to launch in the main dining areas across all ships.
It will provide guests on the UK's third-largest cruise line with a relaxed British dining experience that captures the essence of the country's thriving gastropub.
Piccadilly's features a rotating menu that moves beyond traditional pub fare to offer elevated dishes that reflect modern British cuisine.

The menu showcases starters such as 'Chicken or the Egg', featuring smoked chicken terrine with crispy soft hen eggs and piccalilli. Main courses include 'Chicken Cock-a-Leekie' stuffed roast chicken and traditional options like Angus Beef with Yorkshire Pudding.
Sharing plates form a key part of the offering, with 'Great British Burgers' combining beef, Yorkshire pudding, pork, chips and coleslaw. The 'Arthur Duke Pasty Duo' consists of pork, apple and apricot wellington alongside pulled beef and mushroom puff pastry.
Desserts range from Orange Jaffa Cake with orange jelly and dark chocolate to warm apple fritters and the 'Queen of Puddings' featuring egg and jam pudding with torched meringue.
Premium dishes are available for those seeking additional variety beyond the all-inclusive menu. Seafood Thermidor Frites costs £11.95, alongside Rack of Lamb and Pan Seared Sirloin Steak at the same price point.
The Belgian Chocolate Dome, priced at £4.45, offers an indulgent option filled with salted brownie, almond chocolate ganache and orange marmalade. It comes topped with vanilla ice cream and hot caramel sauce.
The all-inclusive menu encompasses British pub favourites including Steak and Ale Pie, beer-battered whiting at 'The Chippy', and vegetarian options like the 'Curry Mile' tikka vegetable pie and vegan 'Steak and Chips'. Traditional starters such as Chips & Gravy and Devilled Chicken Livers on Toast also feature.
Food and drink development manager at Marella Cruises Luke Saunders said: "We are pleased to be launching this latest innovative concept restaurant onboard all of our ships, Piccadilly's.
"After a successful trial across a couple of ships, we have seen great appetite for a range of hearty British favourites from elegant desserts to comforts that taste like home. We can't wait to see our customers' reactions to this new restaurant concept."
