Your Accommodation


Ocean Majesty

Ocean

All cabins are well-appointed and pleasantly furnished. Each cabin has its own private shower, washbasin and wc, telephone, satellite TV with film channel, three radio channels of entertainment and air-conditioning. Cabin categories J and K have DVD players and DVDs will be available for hire on board.

If you intend to make the most of the ship’s facilities and the shore excursions on offer, you may only need your cabin to be a base in which to settle at night. The most economical option is an inside two-bedded cabin, on Jade deck in category A. However, if you think you will want to spend more time in your cabin, you may want to pay a little more for an outside cabin with a window or porthole, or for a cabin on a higher deck. Categories D and E have a porthole, and all other categories have a larger window. A limited number of double beds are available in category I, and all category K cabins are double bedded. In some cabins in categories A, F, G, H, I, and J an additional upper berth is available, and an additional two upper berths in some cabins in categories A and G. In these, there will be a reduction of up to 60% for extra adults sharing a cabin with two full fare paying passengers – please ask our Holiday Advisors for further information.

Single cabins are available in categories D and E. Some twin cabins are also available for single occupancy in Categories A to I at a supplement of 75% on the prices shown in the price panels.

Whichever category you choose, everyone on board enjoys access to all the ship’s facilities, as well as the attentive service of a cabin steward who will see to your every need throughout the day – a level of service unique to cruising.

Please note A supplement of £25 per person is payable if you wish to choose a particular cabin number.

Your Itinerary

DAY 1 Sunday 3 May UK-Barcelona

We fly to Barcelona and transfer to the Ocean Majesty. We will be moored here overnight allowing plenty of time to explore the dynamic capital of Catalonia.

DAY 2 Barcelona

This is a vibrant city of bustling boulevards, lush parks, fine historic monuments and, perhaps most famously of all, striking Modernista architecture. See the magnificent cathedral and mediaeval alleyways; climb the Montjuic Hill for stunning views over the city, and don’t forget to take a stroll down Las Ramblas, where market stalls, tarot readers and street theatre vie for space in front of pavement cafes. Shore excursions feature the amazing architecture of Antoni Gaudi; and a city tour incorporating the Gothic Quarter and the Spanish Village.

DAY 3 Cruising

Make the most of the ship’s facilities – enjoy a workout in the gym, pamper yourself in the beauty salon and join in the various activities, talks and demonstrations on board.

DAY 4 Tunis

The capital of Tunisia, Tunis is a city of 19th century French boulevards and cosmopolitan shops. The incredibly well preserved 13th century Medina at the heart of the city is host to Moorish houses and souks, and is a delight to wander around.

DAY 5 Valletta

Built by the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, Malta's lovely capital, Valletta, has one of the most splendid harbours you'll find anywhere in the world and a wealth of 16th century architecture. Spend time wandering around the narrow streets of the charming old town admiring the Baroque buildings, or discover the unique towns of Mosta and Mdina on one of our exciting shore excursions.

DAY 6 Messina

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and Messina is the island’s third largest city. Whilst here perhaps choose to visit the impressive Mount Etna, where we travel up to a height of 6,300ft to peer inside the Silvestri crater. You can also take a trip to the ancient town of Taormina, with its magnificently situated Greco- Roman theatre.

DAY 7 Naples

The colourful city of Naples is a delight to explore – seek out the bustling streets and piazzas of shops and cafes; the splendid cathedral; or the treasures of the Museo Archeologico Nazionale. Shore excursions offer the chance to see the magnificent ruins at Pompeii, visit beautiful Capri or take a trip along the scenic Amalfi Drive.

DAY 8 Civitavecchia

From the port of Civitavecchia, we spend the day in Rome – the Eternal City. Here you can choose to explore on your own or join a panoramic tour with our expert guide. Highlights include the monumental Colosseum, the Forum, Vatican City with St Peter’s Square and the Sistine Chapel.

DAY 9 Nice

Founded by the Greeks in the 5th century BC, Nice is a delightful city located on the French Riviera. Explore the narrow alleys of the walled old town, stopping at the many shops and stalls selling local produce; or stroll along the palm-lined Promenade des Anglais. Perhaps join an excursion to the glamorous principality of Monaco or take a tour to the ancient city of St Paul de Vence, which has retained much of its mediaeval character.

DAY 10 Tuesday 12 May Barcelona-UK

We transfer to the airport for the homeward flight.
