Location: Central Caribbean
Welcome to Ocean Village. A brand new take on holidays at sea, Ocean Village is for people who like to go flat out at sports and activities one minute and flat out by the pool the next. Easy Going and informal in style, dressing down, not up, is what Ocean Village is about.
Taking in six stunning islands, this holiday really does offer something for everyone. Get up close to a simmering volcano in steamy St Lucia or go off-road in the rainforest of Dominica. Learn the basics of scuba-diving in St Kitts or gen up on the history of rum in French Guadeloupe. Stock up on duty-free goodies in St Maarten or get down to some serious tanning on a beach in Barbados.
If you choose the 14 night cruise, you will have the opportunity to explore Barbados for a day before cruising off for your second week in the Caribbean. This time round you can go swimming with dolphins in tropical Tortola or snorkelling with stingrays in Antigua. Sway to the sounds of a steel band in Barbados or swing in a hammock in sizzling St. Barts. Inhale the scent of exotic spices in Grenada or savour French Creole dishes in magical Martinique. Whichever island you find yourself on, a plethora of pleasures await you!
Your holiday price includes: Flights, transfers, 7 or 14 nights accommodation on board the Ocean Village including all meals, entertainment and all port taxes.
Accommodation
Nothing's compulsory aboard Ocean Village. If you don't fancy spending all day in town; no problem. There's more than enough to keep you occupied on and around the ship. Want a quiet day? Then work on your tan, shop, email, swim or indulge in some serious pampering. Prefer something a bit more strenuous? Work out in the gym, go jogging or head off on one of the ship's mountain bike trips. With Ocean Village you pick and choose to get the balance of your holiday just right.
