Ventura

Ventura is part of the popular Grand class ships, joining 10 other sister ships in the Princess Cruises, P&O Uk, and P&O Australia Fleets. She was one of the later additions to the fleet, boasting modern interiors tailored to the British market. However, during our 2022 voyage, Ventura appeared a bit worn out.

Best Bits

Wrap Around

A unique feature of both Ventura and her sister Azura is their wrap around promenade deck. Stretched right from the stern to the bow, you get 360 degrees of ocean views. You can also try out your best Kate Winslet impression and fly over the water!


View from the top

Perched right at the back of the ship you'll find the Metropolitan Lounge. The bars wings jut out over the edge of the ship for a Birds Eye vista flying alongside the ship.

Spice Up Your Life

Sindhu is probably the best Indian restaurant a float! its a popular venue that gets booked up within hours of guests joining the ship. You'll find Sindhu on all P&O ships - book early to avoid disappointment!

  Take in those views!

Roomy decks with great views of the port or ocean for miles

Nice Aft! 

Ventura retains the classic tiered aft and pool, that we miss from many newer ships.
