2 Night Cruise sailing from Southampton roundtrip aboard Ventura.

Ventura is the superliner designed for Britain. Inspirational throughout, she displays over 7,000 specially commissioned artworks plus many pieces created by eminent British designer Nick Munro. Even her staterooms have a stylish look and feel.

Fun and innovative, Ventura is the perfect cruise ship for families, couples and those new to cruising. Her many unique features means she offers fantastic choice. Including a contemporary circus school. Scalextric at Sea. An endless pool. A sensational Latin American showlounge. And a cool jazz bar with floor to ceiling video screens displaying real-time footage of the world's most iconic cities.

When it comes to dining, the choice continues. Ventura has three restaurants serving up exquisite five course menus. The flavours of the Pacific-rim in East, where you can watch your food being cooked. A Spanish tapas bar modelled on the famous Ramblas in Barcelona. A fine dining venue created by Marco Pierre White. And a relaxed family restaurant.

About the Cruise:
Why not sail with Ventura on a two-night party cruise to Belgium? Calling at Zeebrugge, this indulgent break gives you the opportunity to visit two destinations famous for their chocolate; the charming city of Bruges or medieval Ghent.

Both cities benefit from a pretty latticework of canals - and, of course, those famous master chocolatiers and exquisite lace shops - but romantic Bruges' other sites include the Town Hall and Gothic style Chapel of the Holy Blood. At the city's heart you'll find historic buildings with weathered gables and centuries-old facades plus plenty of places to stop and sample the huge range of local beers.
Alternatively, soak up the atmosphere in Ghent - a city where the past still seems to be alive. Take a stroll over St Michael's Bridge overlooking the old river port and enjoy a view of the well-known 'Row of 3 Towers' including St Bavo's Cathedral Tower, which holds the famous painting 'The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb'.

About Bruges
Understand that Zeebrugge literally means Bruges-on-Sea and you immediately appreciate why this ferry port is also Belgiums major cruise port. A medieval jewel on the North Sea, the charming city of Bruges is just 10 miles away.
Sometimes called the Venice of the North because of the picturesque criss-crossing canals on which you can enjoy fascinating and romantic boat rides, Bruges actually has a character all its own.
Although it has all the facilities of a modern city - smart shops, restaurants, bars and hotels - these are all found behind the centuries-old facades and weathered gables of the historic buildings at the citys heart.
Bruges is rightly famous for its exquisite lacework, tasty chocolate and huge range of local beers while, from Zeebrugge, you can also visit another historic city, Ghent, the capital Brussels, and historic battlefield sites such as Waterloo and Ypres.
