About Ocean Village Holidays

Ocean Village leapt into the world of cruise holidays back in 2003 with a mission to shake the industry up with a holiday at sea that broke all the conventional cruise rules and appealed to people who had never cruised or considered cruising before.

Just three years on and we have a number of awards under our belt including the Best Cruise Line award for the 2006 Observer and Guardian Newspaper Travel Awards. Up to 60% of our passengers are new to cruise, and at an average of 43 in the summer season, over ten years younger than the industry’s average traditional cruiser.

Free-spirited and unconventional, Ocean Village is a far cry from conventional cruising. Created for 30-50 somethings who like to explore new places and try new things, an Ocean Village holiday is a heady mix of pulse-racing action and chilled-out relaxation - whenever and wherever you want it. On board you can kiss goodbye to the rules of conventional cruising like set meal times and formal dress codes and instead wear what you want and eat when the mood takes you.

Calling at six destinations every seven days, Ocean Village and Ocean Village Two offer a choice of fly-cruise holidays in the Caribbean during the winter months and the Mediterranean during the summer.

Cruises can be 7 or 14 nights or added to a week's hotel stay in Barbados, Majorca or Crete for a two week Stay and Cruise holiday.

Both ships are kitted out in Ocean Village style so you’ll find everything you need from an ocean view gym, spa, pools, jacuzzis and a fleet of mountain bikes (great for exploring ashore) to spacious cabins, four restaurants and a bar for every night of the week.
