Ventura Your Grand Travelling Hotel

Cruising on board Ventura isn’t just the easiest way to see the world’s most beautiful sights, It’s also the most luxurious. Unwind between ports with the best entertainment at sea. Whether you choose to be thrilled by an incredible production show at the lavish 2 deck Arena theatre, dance the night away at the Havana show lounge or prefer to be humoured by a live comedy act there is something for everyone. With 12 places to eat, the wining and dining options are just as mouth-watering. Atul Kochhar’s East brings a deliciously spiced taste of heaven with his Asian cuisine; while the meals in Marco Pierre White’s The White Room provide a unique experience to match anything you devour. Ventura is the luxurious, stress-free way to meander around the Mediterranean or cruise the beautiful white sand beaches of the Caribbean. She’s your grand, travelling hotel.

Ventura in Calvi, Italy

Exemplary Facilities Ventura is a large family-friendly ship where something is always going on! Equipped with a great selection of facilities to help stretch your sea legs including four pools, a traditional games deck and a gigantic sports court where everything from 5-a-side football, basketball and tennis can be played. For the families, there’s a play area for under-twos, and a whole heap of cool kids clubs to keep them entertained while you treat yourself to a pamper day at the adult-only Oasis Spa. The Oasis Spa boasts serene relaxation, peaceful treatment rooms and unique therapies to help renew your sense of wellbeing and leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised.

Where will your cruise take you?

With such a diverse range of wonderful destinations waiting to be discovered and explored and an ever-growing wish list, a cruise is a perfect way to experience multiple fascinating destinations in one holiday. To help ease the dilemma of where to cruise, each month our Cruise Experts will share their experiences with you, giving you a little food for thought and a recommendation for your next cruise.

Downtown New York City

APRIL ‘PICK OF THE PORTS’ New York, America

Porto, Portugal

Claire Gowrie, Team Leader

Ellie MacNab, Cruise Expert

Iconic Sail Away – My favourite sail away is definitely New York, passing the iconic Statue of Liberty with the Manhattan sky line in the back ground is a magical moment and one to treasure forever.

Porto - is a beautiful and historic city with much to offer.

I was surprised at how great the shopping was in Porto, it’s not only great for luxury and high street brands but also offers quirky and bustling markets. I would just love to back and explore more.

Extend your holiday – Of course no cruise from New York would be complete without at stay in this exhilarating city. With so much to see and do, world class shopping and sensational cuisine, this is a city like no other. Must see and dos include; The breath-taking views from the top of Empire State Building and Roosevelt Centre, taking the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Staten Island, visiting the 9/11 memorial museum and strolling around Central Park.

There’s so much to do – To make the most of your time in this sensational city I recommend using the hop on/ hop off bus tours, allowing you to take in the best of the sights and shopping.

The Down Town Loop was my favourite as we combined shopping on 5th Avenue and the bright lights of Broadway and Times Square with Ground Zero, Statue of Liberty Ferry Terminal, Wall Street and Brooklyn Bridge.

People Watching - University students in their traditional university gowns wander around the streets in black capes which denote their status. That’s right, capes. This is how JK Rowling introduced the “Cape” for her famous Harry Potter books. This city is great for people watching!

UNESCO World Heritage Site - You must visit the Ribiera Old district located along the Douro river. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with lots of charming houses, cafes and restaurants. The Porto Cathedral in its Baroque, Gothic style is also worth a visit in the historical centre.

My recommendation - Enjoy the famous port wines of the Douro Valley on a shore excursion to one of the popular wineries.

Porto is a hidden gem and definately worth a visit.

New York is a city like no other!
