ALMACO completes galley equipment upgrade for Marella Discovery

In the beginning of November 2022, all passengers disembarked Marella Discovery, and the cruise ship set sail for NAVANTIA Yard in Cádiz, Spain for a modernization project. ALMACO was in charge of providing the ship with new high-quality galley equipment in three galley areas. The drydock lasted 4 weeks and the upgraded ship welcomed new passengers on the 4th of December 2022.

Marella Discovery, owned by TUI Cruises and with a capacity to serve over 2070 guests, has recently undergone a modernization during a drydock in Cádiz, Spain at NAVANTIA Yard. The catering areas of the ship have been upgraded with new state-of-the-art galley equipment to serve its passengers and crew members food prepared with the latest cooking technology. TUI Cruises contracted ALMACO with the task to renew the galley equipment, such as soup kettles and pressure cookers, with new high-quality and energy-efficient solutions.

Hervé Touzard, Vice President of Catering After-sales at ALMACO says, “We have worked with TUI Cruises and NAVANTIA Yard on several projects and know each other well by now. We share mutual trust and work seamlessly together onboard. Our team here at ALMACO is delighted to be partnering with the team at Marella Discovery to replace their galley equipment with new solutions.” He continues, “The Marella team has a high level of knowledge and knows what equipment works best to serve their passengers and crew. One demand by the galley crew was to replace the existing equipment with durable, energy-saving solutions that comply with circular economy regulations. Through our vast global network of suppliers of high-quality equipment, we were able to match the Marella team’s requests for this project.”

Alexandre Riot, Catering After-sales Supervisor at ALMACO, takes the opportunity to thank his team and team Marella; “We are extremely happy with our team and the fantastic job that they performed onboard Marella Discovery. We also want to thank the ship crew for fantastic cooperation and wish them and their passengers happy sailing and delightful dining experiences!”
