Canary Islands Cruises | Artemis, P&O Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.2)
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.

 | Black Watch, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.6)
The ship offers a lot of space for its passengers in public areas and offers a very comfortable cruise at good-value-for-money. Cabins include 67 with balcony.
The food is better than many ships of this standard and is tailored to the British clientele.

 | Costa Luminosa , Costa Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.5)
Costa Luminosa is the first of a new class of ship for Italian cruise line Costa Cruises. Unusually, instead of building bigger, like most lines, Costa has gone down in size with this one. It’s still a big ship, but it feels more manageable when you are walking around.

 | Costa Serena, Costa Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 3.4)
Italy meets US kitsch on the Costa Serena, which is themed around astrology and the heavens and was designed by the same architect who dreams up the glitzy decor on sister company Carnival Cruise Line's ships. The interiors are inspired by the mythology of Ancient Rome.

 | MV Discovery, Voyages of Discovery (Passenger/crew ratio: 1.7)
One of the original “Love Boats”, of the US TV show Love Boat, this is an older ship that offers interesting itineraries for well-travelled people who would hate to be on board one of the mega-liners offered by mass-market cruise companies.
Expert lecturers are on board.

 | Oceana, P&O Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.3)
A good value four-star product. Since it entered the P&O fleet, this ship has had its dining areas expanded, to cater for the British market. Passengers have rated the elegant dining room, although it can be noisy.

 | Oriana, P&O Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.3)
One of the most popular ships among UK passengers, with a very British feel – regular passengers have said they feel like they are "coming home" when they board. Service is friendly and polite.

 | Queen Victoria, Cunard (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.2)
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.

 | Thomson Destiny, Thomson Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.9)
One of the attractions of sailing with Thomson is that the operator flies to the ship from so many regional airports. Thomson Destiny is the biggest ship in the fleet, although, like all Thomson ships, it does feel very crowded.

There are a lot of exciting new things on board, such as the Circus skills training school, a video wall showing live footage of seven top city skylines in the Metropolis Bar and a big play area for kids.
