Free Holiday Spending Money Weekend
Up to £150 per couple free spending money on Med summer holidays when booked 19-24 February 2009
7 night Med itineraries from £599pp*
Casual cruise company Ocean Village is offering passengers FREE holiday money to spend on board Mediterranean cruises this summer when they book between Thursday 19 – Tuesday 24 February 09. Over that weekend, anyone booking a one or two week Med cruise or stay-and-cruise holiday with Ocean Village or Ocean Village Two for this summer will be rewarded with £50 per person credit to their on-board account for them to spend as they wish around the ship. People booking 14 night cruises from Palma to destinations such as Rome, Monte Carlo and Barcelona get even more to spend on board - £75 per person, or £150 per couple. With seven night sailings starting from as little as £599 per person* and with the £ sterling as the currency onboard, Ocean Village is a great way to navigate through the Credit Crunch this summer.
Passengers can spend the money as they wish – maybe on a treats like a luxurious massage or facial at the Karma Spa, or a mouthwatering meal at The Bistro, celebrity TV chef James Martin’s onboard restaurant. It could cover drinks in the bars each night – and with a pint of lager and a large gin and tonic both priced at £2.85, the money will go a lot further than on ships using the dollar or euro as the on board currency. Feeling active? Adrenaline junkies can use their free money for Action Ashore trips including scuba diving, white water rafting and catamaran sailing. Ocean Village will put the free spending money straight into passengers’ onboard accounts so it’s there ready for them on arrival.

Notes to Editors:
Ocean Village offers unconventional cruising aboard two of the best equipped ships in their class. With no fixed timetables and no formal dress codes, the ships have an easy-going and laid-back vibe and come packed with restaurants, pools, boutiques, more bars than there are days of the week, an Ocean-view gym and Karma Spa and even their own fleet of mountain bikes for exploring each new destination. After action-packed days ashore, passengers can take their pick of a wealth of on-board evening entertainment ranging from stand up comedy, urban dance shows, tribute acts and even a laser aerial spectacular performed 40 feet above the pools out on deck. Families can also take advantage of the fantastic supervised children’s facilities on-board, including a night nursery for the young ones and a separate zone for teens.
