Ocean Village Cruises is to be closed as the Carnival Corporation rearrange their UK based operation.
Even though Island Cruises has been sold by Royal Caribbean, this was not enough to save Ocean Village Cruises and they will be run down with both ships switching to P&O Cruises Australia.
According to Carnival Corporation, the UK market will be better served with the current P&O Cruises fleet which is set to expand when Azure joins them in March 2010.
Cunard, one of the other Carnival Corporation owned cruise lines are also set to get a new ship, the Queen Elizabeth in 2010.

Sailing with Ocean Village Cruises is never boring. Not with spectacular evening entertainment such as their amazing open air aerial deck show. Acrobats and artists perform death defying acts high above the pool deck with lasers lighting up the clear skies of the Ocean.
