TUI Announces New Cork to Palma Route for Summer 2027

TUI has announced a new route from Cork Airport to Palma, Majorca, for Summer 2027, strengthening its Marella Cruises offering for holidaymakers across the south of Ireland.

The service will operate every Tuesday from 18 May until 31 August 2027. The early announcement allows customers to book their Summer 2027 holiday well in advance, with low deposit options available.

The new route gives holidaymakers from across the south of Ireland the chance to sail with Marella Cruises from Palma, a key Mediterranean homeport for the cruise line, with a range of sailings departing from the city. Several itineraries will call at destinations across Spain, France and Italy before returning to Palma.

Customers will also be able to choose Marella's Cruise and Stay option, which combines a seven night beach holiday in Majorca with a Marella Cruise itinerary of their choice. A range of seven and fourteen night beach holidays to Majorca will also be available as part of the new Cork to Palma service.

Beach holidays to Palma are on sale now through tuiholidays.ie, local TUI stores or travel agents, while Marella Cruises can be booked through a local TUI store or travel agent.

Katrina Barry, TUI's Head of Ireland, said:

"We're delighted to introduce the Cork to Majorca service from Cork for Summer 2027, giving Munster holidaymakers even more choice when planning their next sunshine escape. Palma is a key port for Marella Cruises, and this route provides fantastic opportunities to explore some of the Mediterranean's most iconic destinations. TUI are making it easier than ever for customers to secure the holiday that suits them best, from their local airport."

Tara Finn, Head of Aviation Business Development and Communications at Cork Airport, added:

"Mediterranean cruise holidays remain incredibly popular with Irish consumers and make for fantastic holidays. It is wonderful to have the TUI team here in Cork today for this new route announcement, flying Cork – Palma in Summer 2027. TUI is a valued partner, and we're delighted to see the popular tour operator return to Cork Airport for next year's summer season."
