What Creators Are Saying About Ventura
Water is pouring across the deck, not from the sea, but from the ship's own swimming pool, thrown clean out of its basin by the force of the waves.
The Microcosm
It's amazing what the little individual pictures actually are. Difficult to see in close up.
Keith_J213
It was beautiful weather and the sea was so calm, very little wind. Um, and there was plenty of room on the balcony to set the chairs back.
Keith_J213
although it's expensive, it was 80 something pounds each, we thought that it was extremely good value for money, and we definitely recommend anybody to do it if you have the chance.
Keith_J213
She is not the flashiest ship afloat, nor does she pretend to be. Instead, she leans into comfort, familiarity, and a proper sense of British holiday spirit.
