Transatlantic Cruises | Artemis, P&O Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: NaN)
The ship has an informal atmosphere and is particularly geared to the British market. There are no inside staterooms, so prices are slightly higher than other ships in the fleet.

 | MSC Lirica, MSC Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.1)
Launched in 2003, the decor is very Italian and is quite sumptuous within, with two restaurants.
Entertainment is not a strong point, but dining is good with typical Italian dishes.
The European outlook ensures service is good, although fairly relaxed.

 | MSC Orchestra, MSC Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.6)
This is the MSC Cruises’ second Musica-class ship and while the décor is chic, the designs are definitely more daring – even a little tacky in places – as MSC follows the trend towards a brasher look so beloved of some rival lines.

Part of the Carnival UK cruise P&O group, Ocean Village is aimed at the younger market (30-55 years of age), particularly first-timers who don’t fancy the ‘traditional’ image of cruising. (The company’s slogan is: ‘For people who don’t do cruises’).

 | Queen Victoria, Cunard (Passenger/crew ratio: NaN)
Queen Victoria entered the Cunard fleet in December 2007. Cunard’s new Queen is elegant and stylish – rather what you would expect from a company that brands its vessels as Ocean Liners rather than cruise ships.

 | Saga Ruby, Saga Holidays (Passenger/crew ratio: 1.7)
Previously the Cunard Caronia, this classic-looking ship was built in 1973. It underwent a $17-million refit before becoming Saga’s second ship in 2005. Again, it offers some interesting and unusual itineraries. The European and Filipino staff are friendly and helpful.
