Free-spirited and unconventional, Ocean Village is a far cry from traditional cruising.  Created for 30-50 somethings who want to explore new places and try new things, it's a heady mix of pulse-racing action and chilled out relaxation.  The sort of holiday where you can hit the fast-forward or pause button as you choose.  And when it comes to to formal dress codes or set meal times - forget it.  This is about eating when you want and doing what you like - whether it's biking through Caribbean jungles, river rafting in the Med or lazing by the pool.

A new day, a new destination.

You'll hit the pillow at night with one hot destination after another to look forward to.  Snuggle after a day in Monte Carlo and rise and shine in Corsica.  Bed down in Grenada and wake up in St Lucia.  While your dreaming, you'll be sailing to the next great destination.  So when you open your curtains next morning you'll find somewhere enticingly new for you outside - it's a magical Narnia-like moment without having to step through a wardrobe!  It's the most divinely stress-free way to see the best of the Med and Caribbean and the ideal holiday for everyone - couples, friends and families.

A hotel week, a cruise week!

'Stay and Cruise' holidays really do give you the best of both worlds... a week at one of specially selected three, four or five star hotel in Crete, Majorca or Barbados followed by a week onboard calling at a new Med or Caribbean destination nearly every day.  Crete is where legend meets leisure.  Get a cultural fix at Knossos, ruined haunt of the mythical minotaur, hike the dramatic Sumaria gorge or kick-start your tan on the sun-strip of beaches.  Majorca is Holiday Island - feast on seafood on Palma's old town or visit arty Deia in the nearby hills.  Party animal?  Check out the blistering nightlife and recharge your batteries by the pool the next day.  In Barbados you can spend all day on beaches to die for, clock the celebs in the swanky beach bars, head for bustling Bridgetown or watch the big surf roll in on the wild east coast beaches.
