Raise a glass to Marabelle Gin, the star of the sea… in a bottle
Let the adventure be-gin!
We’ve collaborated with award-winning Salcombe Distilling Co. to create a smooth, one-of-a-kind gin available on board our ships. Sharing our zest for adventure and discovering exciting flavours, Salcombe Distilling Co. has invented a new recipe from 18 carefully selected botanicals to produce our taste-tingling Marabelle Gin. And with a name that means ‘star of the sea’, is there a more fitting choice for the gin that was first produced in the world’s first-ever distillery at sea, on board Iona? We're delighted to announce that this gin is also available to enjoy on Arvia during her Mediterranean season.
