M/V OCEAN COUNTESS
This regal lady of the waves is an imposing figure wherever she goes and is the ideal base from which to explore the Greek Islands on either a three or four day cruise. With elegant and subtle colours and tones throughout, she is also the perfect setting for every kind of onboard activity from enjoying a melody in the Piano Bar to testing lady luck at the casino. Thanks to our impeccable service and friendly atmosphere this mid-size ship will fast become home and fellow guests your friends. The Ocean Countess has undergone major refurbishment during winter 2005/2006, with new cabin furnishings, carpeting and wall coverings in addition to televisions (with satellite reception) being installed and the telephone system upgraded. All suites have been totally refurbished. The gymnasium has been reconstructed, the swimming pool area renewed, and a dedicated buffet area installed for those who prefer to dine casually by the pool. All public rooms including the dining room have been refreshed and many art works added to enhance the ship's warm, friendly atmosphere. Our highly trained staff look forward to welcoming you and making sure your cruise is a trip to remember.
