Ventura's highlights
All about entertainment
Between the two-tier Arena theatre with its new LED screen, the exotic Tamarind Club and the lively Havana lounge, there’s never a dull moment on board.
A delight for foodies
In addition to the three main restaurants, Ventura’s speciality restaurants are second to none. Indian favourites with a British twist at Sindhu, a world of wine at Olly Smith’s The Glass House, or fantastic flavours from The Beach House. The Epicurean combines fine dining with contemporary presentation and the best ingredients for an unforgettable dinner, or sit down to Eric Lanlard’s elegant Afternoon Tea.
A shopper’s paradise
As part of her March 2018 refit, Ventura’s on-board shops underwent a complete upgrade, and new brands such as Bric’s, Caroline Gardner and Fat Face now sit alongside popular brands such as Radley, Cath Kidston and Pandora. The enhanced Dixons Travel store, meanwhile, sells the latest tech, from tablets to headphones.
