Ocean Village launches its July 2007-October 2008 brochure next week featuring Caribbean cruises for winter 07/08, including a new 14 night sailing option from Montego Bay.
Next summer Ocean Village Two will sail two new itineraries in the Western Med: Tapas and Togas calling at Tunis, Rome, Genoa, Monte Carlo and Barcelona whilst Villas & Vino will sail from Palma to Tunis, Naples, Florence/Pisa, St Raphael, and Ajaccio (Corsica). The original Ocean Village ship will be in the Eastern Med offering two 7-night itineraries calling at Cephalonia, Santorini and Mykenos.
All 7- night Eastern and Western Mediterranean itineraries can be combined into 14 night sailings or added to a hotel stay in a choice of seven hotels in Majorca or Greece for a 14 night stay and cruise holiday.
This November, the original Ocean Village ship will make its inaugural journey to Montego Bay, Jamaica to commence its new 14 night Caribbean cruise with calls to Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula and South and Central America.
Ocean Village Two will operate two itineraries from Barbados in winter 2007/08 calling Grenada, St Lucia, and Dominica.
Ocean Village has also just launched a new Ocean Village Two virtual tour, complete with 360-degree images of the ship and facilities on its website plus an live webcam from the ship.

Be aware that Ocean Village charter many of their flights with Thomas Cook Airlines.
The seat width is 16 inches... smaller than a dining chair... and you're sat for 9 hours.
If you're my size... you will need to pay for the premium seating to be able to fit in the chair. Last March I ended up sat in a rear facing crew seat for most of the way to & from Barbados, just to get room for my shoulders.
