Ocean Majesty set sail from Barcelona at midnight last night and after a refreshing (if at times slightly rocky) night at sea our guests are ready to take advantage of the many activities, lectures and demonstrations on offer today, or perhaps just to relax with a few drinks out on deck and enjoy the beautiful Mediterranean sunshine. A few things you might not know about the Med: The word Mediterranean means ‘in the middle of the land’. It covers an approximate area of 2.5 million km², but its connection to the Atlantic (the Strait of Gibraltar) is only 14 km wide. The Mediterranean Sea has an average depth of 1,500 metres and the deepest recorded point is 5,267 meters in the Calypso Deep in the Ionian Sea.
