Ventura
Ventura is a Grand-class cruise ship built by Fincantieri in Monfalcone, Italy, and entered service with P&O Cruises as one of the largest cruise ships built for the British market. British actress Dame Helen Mirren christened the ship in a dramatic ceremony featuring Royal Marine Commandos, breaking with traditional naming conventions by commanding the team in an abseil. The ship has undergone refits at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg and experienced several incidents at sea, including weather damage, engine failures, and a successful rescue of three jet ski operators off Gibraltar.
Ventura carries up to 3,078 passengers on a lower berth basis and is supported by a crew of 1,250. The ship has 1,556 cabins across 18 decks and is powered by Wartsila engines with a service speed of 22 knots.
