Already well-known to a generation of British cruise holidaymakers, the 17,500-tonne Ocean Countess, following a £3m refurbishment, will be sailing for the first time from British waters in 2010, on a series of departures from regional ports around the UK. With her distinctive ‘classic’ profile, extensive traditional wooden decks and wide range of amenities – including her newly refurbished dining room and several lounges and bars – Ocean Countess, stabilised and air conditioned throughout, will, together with her friendly crew, offer memorable cruising at simply wonderful prices.
Ocean Countess offers seven passenger decks served by two lifts, and seeming acres of deck space – perfect for those sunny days at sea. The heated sea-water swimming pool and the two whirlpool baths are focal points of life on deck, while the pool bar is a popular meeting point. Other on board facilities include the comfortable Holyrood Show Lounge, where each evening you can look forward to first-class entertainment provided by the team of professional singers and dancers. Lido Deck boasts a library and card tables, and there is also a well stocked shopping gallery, a well equipped gym with sauna and spa, as well as massage, hairdressing and beauty facilities. As you would expect from a cruise holiday where the accent is on the traditional, dining onboard Ocean Countess will invariably be one of the highpoints of the day, even if all your resolutions about calories and exercise are broken the minute you sit down! The two-sitting Kensington Restaurant, redecorated in the refurbishment programme, is the location for the sumptuous formal dinners on board the ship, where you can expect to be looked after by friendly, attentive waiters. The fantastic value cruise programme from a selection of UK ports features a choice of Portugal & Spain, Round Britain and ‘Emerald Isle’ cruises, North Cape & the Land of the Midnight Sun, Nordic or Baltic cities, a voyage to Iceland, journeys to the heart-stoppingly beautiful Norwegian fjords and a Cork mini-cruise.
