Singapore and Thailand,no visas required.Vietnam,the ship should organise one and add it to your account.Cambodia looks the same.My experience was with Princess,but all cruise lines are similar.

The a-z guide for Marella cruises says "If you’re on a cruise holiday, we’ll organise a group visa for British or Irish passport holders. This will cover all your ports of call and trips ashore".

 

Best to read the full guide on visas found at back of brochure or online (at bottom of terms and conditions page).

Yes, that's been our experience too on a different cruise line - and BLine's post appears to confirm it with Marella.

 

But since a couple of years back tourist visas for Vietnam have not been required for UK passport-holders (including those flying or river-cruising to/from Vietnam) - non-UK passport-holders would be wise to check direct with Marella

 

Ship-issued visas are normally only good for arriving and leaving with the ship.

However according to others on here no Indian visa is provided by Marella and you need to obtain one yourself
The Indian evisa is now valid for a selection of seaports,which makes it cheaper and easier now.On our recent Cunard cruise we found out at the last minute that Sri Lanka required an intransit visa.We applied online for free and printed it off.We found out after that the ship did it for you anyway,but the check in staff at Singapore were unaware of this and frightened a few people that they wouldn't be allowed to disembark.Cheers,Brian.
