Will Martin rose to fame when his debut album ‘A New World’ achieved double platinum status in his native New Zealand, and upon release in the UK it debuted at Number 1, making him the youngest tenor in musical history to reach the top of the classical charts. But before that he had been regularly seen on board Ocean Village where he performed as lead vocalist, and at one point there had been a scramble of record companies pursuing Will around the Caribbean to sign him up. So naturally we are delighted to welcome Will back on board for Ocean Village Two’s farewell cruise.
He gave an ‘Up Close and Personal’ informal chat to passengers along with a live performance singing hits from his Number 1 album as well as some of his favourite songs by Elton John, Billy Joel and Crowded House.
Will performed as the opening vocalist in the Village Square during Ocean Village Two’s inaugural events and naming ceremony back in April 2007, and he will be taking to the ship’s stage one last time as part of the final night show. So having been the first, Will will also be the last vocalist to sing on board Ocean Village Two. Which feels sort of appropriate…Paul Wright

Before starting my Cruise website Cruisegle, I used to work for a UK based company called Planet Cruise. I was lucky enough to get on to Ocean Village 2 before she set sail to Palma for the first time. I never did get to actually cruise on here so I envy you. I guess now, I never will get to cruise on her at all!
I had seen all the post of your blog. I really enjoyed your farewell cruise by watching videos. It was so much fun watching it. I wish I could be there for watch it live..
