In addition, two brand new Eastern Mediterranean itineraries are announced for the original Ocean Village ship in the summer of 2007.
The second ship, demonstrating the huge success of Ocean Village's upbeat style of casual cruising, more than doubles Ocean Village's capacity, embodying the same informal style and high standards as the original Ocean Village, but with the benefit of 198 cabins with private balconies (more than any other ship of its class) and an outstanding 14,000 square foot spa and gym complex.
Guests will be able to enjoy a fantastic new spa experience in the luxurious sauna, steam and treatment rooms. Tooth-whitening, Oxyjet facials and other leading treatments and therapies will be on offer as well as state of the art gym equipment with floor-to-ceiling ocean views and a separate mirror-walled room for aerobics, bike spinning, Pilates and yoga sessions.
The new ship, which also features two Jacuzzis, two pools, a theatre, casino, children's centre and more bars than there are days of the week, is the current AidaBlu, operated by Carnival's German company Aida Cruises
