Her cuisine is rooted in Mediterranean cooking, complemented by asian fusion influences, creating dishes that feel refined yet relaxed.

She enjoys adapting menus to individual preferences and dietary requirements, while keeping food exciting, generous and enjoyable.

Beyond the galley, Marielle is also a certified yoga teacher and is happy to offer private yoga sessions on board - the perfect way to unwind, move and reconnect while enjoying time at sea. Warm, calm and attentive to detail, Marielle’s aim is simple: to make every
