Ocean Village Holidays is
a division of Carnival plc. - the largest cruise operator in the
world. Modelled on the successful German Aida Cruises model (another
Carnival brand) the company specialise in offering cruises 'for
people who don't do cruises' targeting people with an aversion to
formality and other traditional cruise traditions.
The company currently
employ only one vessel the OCEAN VILLAGE although she will be joined
by a slightly larger, slightly newer ship in 2007 which is currently
trading as AIDABLU for Aida Cruises.
OCEAN VILLAGE was
muted at the time of her arrival as the largest ship in her class
(i.e. 3 star cruising) and she certainly was - by a big margin and
she was the newest ship in her market too. She had previously been
employed by P&O Cruises as their ARCADIA ans before that by Princess
Cruises as Star Princess. |
