- Now, I’ll let you into a little secret. When I first met my wife, over 15 years ago, the first real holiday we ever went on was to Benidorm. Now at the time I knew nothing about the place but very quickly got to grips with the place and we ended up going back about half a dozen times. We really enjoyed the place and if we didn’t like cruising... more

- 8 days old
- We arrived here nice and early in the morning, around 7.30am, this was so all the tours could get off and into the Italian Traffic. We have been to Rome a couple of times before, so we decided this time to spend the day relaxing on board. This evenings entertainment was very good, a Comedian by the name of Adrian Walsh. Now I do vaguely... more

- Day 8 Santa Margherita

- Santa Margherita is a tender port, this is because the port itself it a tiny fishing village, however it does have a bay large enough for s hip the size of Ventura to anchor. So we took the tender boats to the shore. Today we are booked on our first excursion, a walking tour of Portofino. To get to the secluded bay of Portofino, it’s just a... more

- Hi Everyone, As some of the more observant amongst you may have noticed, I have been away from my blog for quite a few weeks now. There are any number of reasons why I have not been posting, including having gone on 2 more cruises! In any event, I have returned and will be completing my review of the Ventura Maiden Voyage before starting upon,... more

- Day 7 Livorno, Ventura Maiden Cruise
- by ukcruiseguy

- Today we are in Livorno, the Port for Pisa and Florence. As usual, Amanda and I just took the complimentary shuttle bus into the town. As first glance there did not seem much to do, then as if by magic, we rounded a corner and there was the market – Amanda seems to have a nose for it. The fruit market was something else, the fruit was so fresh... more

- 57 days old
- Today we arrived in the pretty little fishing village of Villefrance, the ideal port for trips to Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo. Ventura anchored out into the bay and the mode of transport to the shore way by tender boat. Now being this was a maiden cruise and this was the first tender port, you could guess that there may be some teething... more

- Day 5 Barcelona After 3 days at sea, it was really nice to make landfall and where better than Barcelona. As most of you know, the cruise ships offer a huge range of tours that can take you from a couple of hours to all day. Having cruised as many times as we have, we are quite selective about the trips that we do, and often opt to stay around... more

- Had a lay on this morning until 10am and then a very lazy breakfast after a brief visit to the gym. Later this morning we had a go at Bingo in the exchange pub, a little pricey at £15 for a strip of 6 for 5 games but the payouts were quite good, going up each game until the snowball, each day, unless it was won in 44 numbers, it rolled over so... more
