Marella Cruises, famous for their West End style shows, have helped to launch many young people’s careers in the entertainment industry, including Cleopatra Joseph and Joseph Fletcher, who are both currently starring in West End productions.

Maria said: “This will be my first cruise with Marella, so I am incredibly excited.

“The whole process has been really enjoyable from the auditions at Pineapple Dance Studios in London to the last 10 weeks where myself and the team have lived and worked together 24/7 to get all the shows ready.

“It’s been very demanding as I perform several solos, but I have enjoyed every minute and can’t wait to become part of the Marella team!”
