Last month saw one of the busiest ever periods in Southampton’s history as a cruise passenger port. The launches of both Ocean Village Two and the world's current largest ship, Liberty of the Seas, highlighted the continuing innovation and popularity growth of ocean cruising.

A pamper session in the stunning multi level spa on Ocean Village Two or a rush of adrenaline as you surf the gushing waters of the Flowrider aboard Liberty of the Seas remind you that these, and other ground breaking new innovations, are not just gimmicks, but are genuine enhancements to an already fantastically varied holiday.

In this month's On-Liner you’ll find all the usual news, features and exclusive special offers - don’t miss our guide to Costa’s amazing new flagship – Serena, complete with the most salubrious spa at sea!

Letter of the month

“We enjoyed two weeks on Navigator of the Seas to the Carribean. It was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Everything about the ship was first class, from staff and food to the entertainment. I will certainly be booking a Royal Carribean cruise again." Deirdre
