Cruise & Maritime Voyages Ocean Countess...

Following a £3 million pound refurbishment programme, Ocean Countess joined the Cruise & Maritime Voyages fleet in April 2010 under charter from the widely respected and long established Majestic International Cruises Group who also operate the popular Ocean Majesty, well known to the British market. The ship originally entered service as the Cunard Countess and became one of the best-known ships to sail the Caribbean Sea. With her distinctive traditional profile, the 17,593 grt Ocean Countess has seven passenger decks, a generous amount of deck space, is stabilised and air conditioned throughout, and accommodates about 800 passengers in comfortable surroundings. She is the perfect size for accessing more remote ports of call and provides excellent service standards within a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. On board public facilities include the comfortable Holyrood Show Lounge and the Tower Piano Bar on Lido Deck with its panoramic views, well-stocked library and card tables - a delightful venue for pre-dinner drinks and to chat with fellow passengers after another wonderful day ashore. By contrast, Hamptons is the place to be for late night entertainment and to try your luck in the casino. Ocean Countess offers traditional two sitting dining in the Kensington Restaurant or, as an alternative, enjoy buffet-style meals at the Boat House on Upper Deck or a light lunch by the pool on Lido Deck (both subject to weather conditions). In addition, Ocean Countess provides a shopping gallery, internet café and the Jade Wellness Centre with a gym and sauna. Be pampered with a spa or massage treatment or make use of the hairdressing and beauty facilities. She offers extensive deck areas with traditional deck games or to sit and relax with a good book from the library and a drink from the pool bar. On Lido Deck there is a generous size heated swimming pool and two whirlpools to enjoy.
