Ventura will be the largest cruise ship built for P&O so far capable of carrying 3,100 passengers and 1,200 crew.

To meet the rapidly expanding demand for P&O Cruises UK, Ventura will feature an unprecedented range of passenger facilities including eight restaurants, six shops, five pools and three show lounges including the largest theatre on a British cruise ship.She will offer one of the largest spas afloat, and a unique family zone, which will bring together four extensive activity areas for different child age groups, a family bistro and two pools dedicated to parents and children.Of her 1,550 passenger cabins, almost 900 will feature a private balcony.

Apart from her funnel, she will be identical to her American sisters; Sapphire and Diamond Princess. However, her decor will be distinctively British, making her suitable for the UK market.
