After launching in 2008, P&O Ventura is one of the oldest and most loved ships in the renowned British brand’s fleet. Featuring popular sailings departing Southampton to incredible locations like the Canary Islands, around the Mediterranean and adventuring in the Caribbean, it’s no wonder she’s such a hit.

Meanwhile, parents and adults could be taking the opportunity to get some all-important lounging in. Whether that’s by sipping cocktails at the abundance of bars or soaking up the soothing atmosphere in the Oasis Spa.
