17 Night Central Mediterannean Cruise

Back to cruise listings link
  • This is a cruise-only offer
  • This cruise offer departs from the UK

A certain amount of this public pizzazz comes at the cost of private space – suites are smaller than on many other newly launched ships, but if you like to be out and about, enjoy good dining and have children to keep busy, this ship could be perfect for you.

This large, resort-style cruise ship is popular with families who like a British style cruise holiday. She sails in sterling and has 25 wheelchair accessible cabins but no solo ones. Popular features include the Scalextric and the 3D cinema and the circus skills classes are usually well booked up in advance. She sails in sterling.

What's special about P&O Cruises?

  • Brand history – founded in 1837 this line has a long pedigree and is British to its core with a host of features that appeal to a clientele that is predominantly UK based
  • Signatures of the line – two kinds of ship, adult-only and family-friendly, mean that both kinds of cruise enthusiast are made welcome
  • Number of ships – currently 7 but with one ship transferring out very soon it will be back to 6
  • Best for – British enthusiasts: there’s everything British about P&O from the tea-making facilities on board through to the entertainment
  • Special dining features - Arcadia and Oriana have Gary Rhodes restaurants, while Ventura features Marco Pierre White and Azura has an Olly Smith themed restaurant that focuses on dining and fine wine
  • Special suite features – a fairly classic approach to suites here, with a rather sedate feel
  • Special kid features – Family friendly ships feature Noddy and Mr Bump
  • Entertainment features – British themed entertainment predominates with participation shows based on British TV formats
  • Spa and fitness features – not especially noted for spa and fitness, P&O has upped its game with new facilities on Ventura and Azura
  • Routes – virtually all ships are home-ported in Southampton and generally offer itineraries to the Med, Northern Europe and British speaking Atlantic although there are at least two world cruises a year

Why Choose Ventura?

  • Dining: Three dining rooms, lots of casual eateries and two premium pay-extra venues, East and a Marco Pierre White venue that actually welcomes children and copes superbly with them plus the option of balcony dining from the same menu as the MPW restaurant
  • Family amenities: A very family focused ship, with Scalextric, Noddy and other very British acts and activities, also a circus skills active programme
  • Top accommodation: There are quite a few family cabins but no real suites on this family focused ship
  • Entertainment and facilities: Ventura seems to be moving towards a ‘stand-up’ style of entertainment that is intimate and more edgy that the big variety shows
  • Tipping: At your discretion
