 EXPEDITION CRUISE SHIP INFORMATION
Ocean Countess joins 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 preparation for her debut programme of cruises from the British Isles, Ocean Countess will undergo a £3 million refurbishment programme including the re-theming and naming of her public lounges, some upgrading of her cabin accommodation with new furnishings in addition to the installation of flat screen televisions. All deck areas will have been refreshed and public rooms including the dining room updated to enhance the ship's warm, friendly atmosphere.
On board public facilities include the comfortable Holyrood Show Lounge, the Tower Piano Bar on Lido Deck with its panoramic views, well-stocked library and card tables, and by contrast Hamptons is the place to be for late night entertainment. Ocean Countess offers traditional two sitting dining in the Kensington Restaurant and as an alternative, enjoy a light lunch at the Boat House on Restaurant Deck or by the pool on Lido Deck. There is a shopping gallery, gym with sauna and spa, and massage, hairdressing and beauty facilities. Ocean Countess offers extensive deck areas, a generous size heated swimming pool, two whirlpools and a pool bar.
