Feeling guilty is a common experience for many people in Britain, with a staggering 80% admitting to having guilt about trivial matters that shouldn’t warrant concern. In response to this pervasive trend, Marella Cruises, the cruise line affiliated with TUI, has introduced the innovative PJkini—a unique blend of swimwear and loungewear designed for guilt-free vacationing. This stylish addition allows travelers to seamlessly transition from their cabin to the pool or dining areas without the need to change outfits.
Accompanying the launch, Marella Cruises conducted a study revealing that the average Brit experiences guilt approximately eight times a month, with 39% feeling guilty about indulging in “me” time. This insight highlights the necessity for a holiday experience that reduces stress and encourages people to unwind fully.

Marella Cruises’ research unveils the everyday triggers that contribute to the unique phenomenon of British guilt:
Such anxiety affects the average Brit’s relaxation time considerably, with just 67 minutes a week dedicated to unwinding. Surprisingly, many find it challenging to let go of stress while on holiday: 61% report difficulty in achieving complete relaxation, frequently worrying about airport logistics (51%), getting lost (34%), and packing (33%).
It generally takes around three days of a week-long vacation for Brits to feel fully rejuvenated, underscoring the struggle to fully embrace what should be a relaxing escape.
In response to these findings, Marella Cruises has launched the PJkini, touted as the world’s first hybrid of swimwear and nightwear. This innovative piece aims to eliminate unnecessary wardrobe decisions, allowing vacationers to effortlessly step into relaxation mode as soon as they begin their trip. Supervised by Denise van Outen, Marella Cruises’ Chief Chill-Out Officer, the PJkini is designed for ultimate comfort and style, enabling guests to fully embrace their holiday adventures right from the start.
