## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Marella Cruises (TUI) Scraper: Itineraries, Ports & Prices

Scrape **Marella Cruises** sailings from TUI UK in one clean schema. Each record
is a single sailing with its ship, departure date, number of nights, embarkation
port, day-by-day ports of call, board basis, lead-in price and - for fly-cruise
packages - the flight summary.

> **Unofficial.** This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by
> TUI, Marella Cruises or any travel brand. Names and trademarks belong to their
> respective owners and are used here only to describe the data the Actor returns.
> The data is public cruise inventory only - no personal data.

### 🚀 How to use

1. Click **Try for free** / **Start**.
2. Pick your filters - departure airports, date, duration, ship, destination
   (or leave them at their defaults to fetch next month's sailings from London).
3. Run the Actor and download the results as **JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or via API**.

### ✨ Features

- 🛳️ **Whole Marella fleet** - Explorer, Explorer 2, Discovery, Discovery 2 and
  Voyager, all in one schema.
- 🔎 **Useful filters** - departure airport, departure date, duration band, ship
  and destination/port text.
- 🗺️ **Day-by-day ports of call** - ordered port list with country, plus a flat
  `portsText` summary for quick scanning.
- ✈️ **Fly-cruise aware** - departure airport and the inbound/outbound flight
  summary for each package.
- 💲 **Lead-in pricing** - per-person and total price in GBP, with the per-person
  discount where shown.

### 🧭 Input

All fields are optional. Run with no input to fetch next month's sailings from the
London airports.

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `departureAirports` | array | UK airports to fly from (e.g. `LGW`, `MAN`). Empty = London airports. |
| `departureDate` | string (YYYY-MM-DD) | Earliest sailing date. Defaults to the 1st of next month. |
| `duration` | string | `1-7`, `8-14` or `15-30` nights. |
| `ships` | array | Restrict to specific Marella ships. Empty = all ships. |
| `destination` | string | Keep only sailings whose ports/countries contain this text, e.g. `Greece`. |
| `adults` / `children` | integer | Party size (affects pricing). |
| `maxResults` | integer | Maximum number of sailing records to store (default `100`). |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "departureAirports": ["LGW", "LHR"],
  "departureDate": "2026-07-01",
  "duration": "1-7",
  "ships": ["Marella Explorer 2"],
  "destination": "Greece",
  "adults": 2,
  "maxResults": 50
}
````

### 📦 Output

Each dataset item is one sailing. Example (trimmed):

```json
{
  "cruiseName": "Aegean Gems",
  "itineraryCode": "101750",
  "shipName": "Marella Explorer 2",
  "departureDate": "01 Jul 2026",
  "nights": 7,
  "embarkPort": "Limassol",
  "disembarkPort": "Limassol",
  "departureAirport": "London Gatwick",
  "departureAirportCode": "LGW",
  "flightType": "Direct",
  "boardBasis": "All Inclusive",
  "pricePerPerson": 799,
  "priceTotal": 1599,
  "discountPerPerson": 1028,
  "priceCurrency": "GBP",
  "countries": ["Cyprus", "Greece"],
  "portsText": "Limassol → Rhodes → Santorini → Mykonos → …",
  "portCount": 7,
  "imageUrl": "https://content.tui.co.uk/.../image.jpg",
  "bookingUrl": "https://www.tui.co.uk/cruise/bookitineraries/Aegean-Gems-101750?...",
  "itinerary": [
    { "seq": 1, "port": "Limassol", "country": "Cyprus", "code": "000798", "visiting": false },
    { "seq": 2, "port": "Rhodes", "country": "Greece", "code": "001234", "visiting": true }
  ],
  "flights": { "inbound": { "...": "..." }, "outbound": { "...": "..." } }
}
```

The dataset has two views: **Overview** (flat table - ship, dates, ports, price)
and **Itineraries** (the full day-by-day `itinerary` array).

### 💡 Use cases

- Track Marella sailing availability, durations and lead-in prices for routes.
- Build a cruise comparison or alerting tool that includes TUI / Marella.
- Analyse itineraries, ports of call and seasonality across the fleet.
- Feed normalized cruise data into a travel agency, affiliate or comparison site.

### 💳 Pricing

This Actor is monetized on a **pay-per-result + usage** basis: you pay a small fee
per sailing record returned, plus the Apify platform usage your run consumes. New
users can try it on the Apify free tier (capped sample). See the **Pricing** tab on
the Actor's page for the current rate.

### ❓ FAQ

**Where does the data come from?**
Publicly available cruise package listings on the TUI UK website. Use the data
responsibly and in line with applicable laws and the site's terms.

**How current is it?**
Each run fetches live availability and prices at run time; every record includes a
`scrapedAt` timestamp.

**How do I scrape only a few results to test?**
Set `maxResults` to a small number (e.g. `5`) and add a ship or destination filter.

**Is it official?**
No. It is an independent, unofficial Actor and is not affiliated with TUI or
Marella Cruises. Brand names are used only to describe the data.
