Yet More Family Fun For Your Cruise Holiday

Basil Brush to become the latest passenger to board Ocean Village!

Life is full of little surprises, but we bet you won't be expecting our latest addition to your Ocean Village cruise... a fox!

From July 2009 the most famous fox on the box, Basil Brush will join Ocean Village as the latest family favourite to perform an exclusive, fun family show on-board – his first ever season of live shows at sea!

The legendary puppet will board the original Ocean Village for a summer sailing around the Western Mediterranean, becoming the third retro children's icon to join the crew alongside Bagpuss and Paddington Bear.

First hitting British TV screens back in 1963, Basil is best known for his cheeky jokes and famous 'Boom boom!' catchphrase and is certainly set to put on an entertaining show for passengers of all generations.  Fans of the foxy “fella” - both young and old - will be able to see live shows in the ship’s Connexions Bar from July and will also have a special opportunity to have their photo taken with Basil, complete with his trade mark tweed cape, waistcoat and cravat.

So if you fancy a trip down memory lane, book your family a Western Med cruise this summer.  Click here to see more > 

Prices for a seven night Western Mediterranean sailing with Basil in July start from £749** for adults and £349 for children** including flights, transfers, buffet dining, kids clubs, modern evening entertainment and tips on board. Ocean Village also features a night nursery, a dedicated youth team and supervised on-shore ‘Great Escapes’ excursions for 9-17 year olds whereby they can leave the ship – and their parents – to spend the day ashore.
