Laid back Christmas cruise

If you want a special Christmas without too much fuss, then a cruise around the Caribbean with Ocean Village might be just right for you. Sailing on December 16th with a flight to join the ship, there are port calls at such tourist gems as Barbados, Tortola, St Maarten, St Kitts, Antigua, Dominica, Barbados, Tobago, Isla Margarita, St Lucia, Grenada and St Vincent.

It’s an ideal family experience which has been specially designed to please everyone – there’s going to be a top deck ‘Winter Wonderland’ which will include a Father Christmas grotto where the children can receive a present on Christmas day and a very special Caribbean carol service. There’s also the chance for the little ones to meet Paddington Bear and Bagpuss.

While the kids are happily involved with that kind of fun, parents are not ignored - Auf Widersehen Pet's Tim Healy is giving a stand-up comedy performance that you can safely assume is pretty adult!

It’s a fourteen day cruise with pretty well guaranteed winter sunshine and prices begin at just £1,199 to include return flights, transfers, buffet dining, nursery facilities and all the onboard entertainment. Ocean Village cruises are always packed with casual fun, don’t expect too much dressing up, apart from the fancy dress variety and look forward to being roped into lots of games and silly activities during your fortnight.
