Ocean Village cruises

Ocean Village cruises are for people who don't do cruises.

Since its launch in 2003, Ocean Village, 'the cruise for people who don't do cruises', has become very popular with British cruisers, both repeat and first time cruisers who enjoy its dress-down, laid-back, high quality style. The cruise ships Ocean Village and Ocean Village Two offer no formal dress codes or set dining times, and you wake up in a new destination nearly every day with a range of adrenaline-charged or chilled-out activities ashore to choose from. Cruises are based in the Mediterranean at Majorca and Crete in the summer, then in winter they cruise in the Caribbean from Barbados and Jamaica, There's a choice of one or two week sailings or 14 night 'Stay and Cruise' combinations where the first week is spent in a hotel and the second week afloat.

Ocean Village cruises have a fantastic range of options for couples, groups, free spirits and families, with free children's activities which cater for tots to teens, a dedicated kids' centre, netted deck areas and a night nursery that's free until midnight.

There's a choice of 24/7 buffet dining, plus in the evening, waiter service meals at the poolside La Luna restaurant or in celebrity TV chef James Martin's Bistro. With more bars than days of the week, the entertainment on the cruise ships range from a deck laser spectacular to live tribute bands, stand up comedy, latest release films and contemporary circus acts.

Cruises are available with flights from Gatwick, Stansted, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Newcastle and Glasgow.
