On 28th of April 2003, Ocean Village was named by Ulrika Jonsson in Southampton and 7 years on in Piraeus, the gateway to Athens, we gave three cheers for Ocean Village’s 7th birthday.
Our passengers toasted the UK’s very best-loved informal cruise brand throughout the day and continued partying into the evening as our “Big Night Out” party was combined with true Ocean Village-style birthday celebrations.
Even though the guests had been celebrating on deck, behind the scenes we had been busy organising a birthday barbecue for our crew. We chose the day at sea on the 30th April, following departing Heraklion, for the celebrations.
The birthday barbecue was a actual success with a fantastic turnout. Guest chefs for the occasion, keeping the grills topped up, had been Food and Beverage Director Michael Shambley and yours genuinely!
A wonderful event and enjoyed by all.
