A preview of what will be on offer aboard OV2 has been announced....

A truly relaxing holiday demands a comfortable room. Somewhere you can really stretch out in... especially if you had a late night and want a lie in.

Ocean Village Two offers more cabins with balconies than any other ship in its class, so you can treat yourself to your own private sunset every single night.

Every room has as standard:

* en suite facilities
* its own dressing area
* TV
* fridge
* tea and coffee making facilities
* hair dryer
* safe
* basic bathroom toiletries
* towels provided for shower-room and subathing

The cabins are graded from AA to NN, with AA the largest, most luxurious and most conveniently located for the ship's facilities. Which cabin you choose depends on the kind of holiday you want.
If you want to put your feet up and admire the view from you own private vantage point, go for an outside cabin - perhaps even one with a balcony. If you plan to spend all day pounding the streets and seeing the sights, only returning to sleep or change, then an inside cabin will do nicely.

Spa facilities...

Putting the aaah into Spa....

Over and above our signature facilities, Ocean Village Two also offers an indecently large, shamelessly decadent spa and fitness complex - guaranteed to make even the most low maintenance mortals go weak.

Relative to the ship's size, it's the biggest afloat, a parallel universe of steam rooms and saunas, treatments and therapies, gym and aerobic zones that easily measures up to spa resorts ashore.

Our Karma Spa experience includes:

* Sauna and steam zone with ocean views
* Meditation room
* Hamman steam room
* Relaxation rooms

What else will be on board...?

Enjoy our new playground in the Med. Ocean Village Two boasts an indecently large spa and fitness complex with steam rooms and saunas, treatments and therapies galore.

* spacious cabins

* four places to eat
* two swimming pools
* a kids centre
* casino and nightclub

Eating what you fancy, when you fancy it...

* The main Waterfront Restaurant (buffet dining).
* The Plantation Restaurant (24-hour buffet dining).
* La Luna deck café (extra charges applies, waiter service).
* The Bistro (waiter service, extra charge applies).

At the two main restaurants, Waterfront and Plantation, you'll find a great range of high quality buffet options available around the clock. The ship will also boasts La Luna and The Bistro. By day, La Luna will be an open-air deck café, while at night it offers poolside dining by starlight.

Both The Bistro and La Luna have an extra charge at night and waiter service.

Entertainment...

With six different bars, a club and the casino, the night's alive with possibilities...

* Chance your luck at the Player's Casino.
* Boogie down to the nightclub.
* Relax with friends at one of the bars on board.

(Our contemporary circus performers will be passing on some of their secrets on board. Having seen their acrobatic feats during the evening, here's your chance to join a workshop to learn juggling, dive rolls or balancing acts the next day!)

* Charlie's Bar - cappuccinos, espressos and muffins.
