Entertainment
Get ready for a world of entertainment and excitement aboard Ventura. With a commitment to delivering unforgettable moments at sea, Ventura offers a diverse range of entertainment options that cater to all tastes and preferences.
During the day there’s plenty going on to keep you occupied. There’s a full programme published in The Horizon every day, which is delivered to your cabin each night. There are quizzes and bingo in The Exchange, tennis and table tennis on the sports deck, deck quoits and shuffleboard on the Sun Deck and bridge in the Peninsular Room. If that’s not enough, films are shown throughout the day in the Arena Theatre and at night, two main shows are performed here.
There is a range of bars and lounges for you to sit back and relax in. The Exchange on Deck 6 serves a wide range of beers on tap and in bottles. As you’d expect from a traditional British pub, The Exchange regularly shows sporting events on wide screens and hosts karaoke evenings. Adjacent to the pub is Fortunes, the ship’s casino.
The Tamarind Club on Deck 7 is a lovely option for a pre-dinner drink thanks to the live music that is regularly played here. Similarly, Havana also on Deck 7 hosts singers and bands at various times throughout the evening.
