- This page is devoted to
postcards and photographs of the cruise ship Star Princess, since 2003 the Ocean Village.
-
- Ocean Village was nearing completion in France
for Sitmar Cruises, as the Sitmar
FairMajesty, when the company was taken over
by P&O Princess. She was delivered to Princess Cruises as
the Star
Princess in
1989. In 1997 she was transferred to P&O Cruises as their
third Arcadia. In 2003, Arcadia was transferred again to a new P&O subsidiary
as Ocean
Village, providing
a less formal cruise experience for a younger target audience.
