September 1, 2008 - Ocean Village is launching 14-night Caribbean cruises in the winter 2009-10 season to add new destinations not accessible on one-week sailings.

Three different fly-cruise itineraries on its two ships start at £1,199 per person, including a 45% early booking discount.

New destinations on cruises out of Barbados include Samana in the Dominican Republic, Mayreau in the Grenadines and Colon in the Panama Canal.

Says Gill Haynes, head of marketing: "For the first timers, we've island-rich itineraries where they can wake up nearly every day at the sort of dream destinations that spring to mind when people think of the Caribbean - St Lucia, Barbados, Grenada and the British Virgin Islands.

"For seasoned cruisers who have perhaps already visited a number of Caribbean favourites, we also have a Grand Tour option which takes them off the beaten track from Barbados all the way to the Panama Canal, Costa Rica and Grand Cayman and back again."
