Ventura
Perfect for families, Ventura has so much to enjoy. Kids (and big kids) love her video game arcade, the sports arena keeps everyone happy (competitive streaks aside!) with football, basketball, tennis and archery, and the comedy and quiz nights in Havana and The Tamarind Club are fun for all the family.

Itinerary
- 1
Southampton (for London), England
Departs 04:00 pm.
The south of England boasts a dramatic coastline that encloses some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain. The landscape of hills and heaths, downs and forests, valleys and dales, is without rival. Southampton serves as your gateway to the countryside - and to a wide variety of historic sites, national landmarks and charming. And of course, London is a two-hour drive by modern highway. The United Kingdom's premier passenger ship port, Southampton was home for many years to the great transatlantic liners of yesteryear.

Cherbourg, France
Arrives 08:00 am, departs 07:00 pm.
- 3
Le Havre (for Paris/Normandy), France
Arrives 07:00 am, departs 08:00 pm.
Perhaps no other place in France holds more associations for English-speaking visitors than Normandy. The historic Allied landings on D-Day - 6 June, 1944 - live on in the memories of British and Americans alike. Nor has Le Havre forgotten the dark days of the war. The port was nearly completely destroyed during the Normandy campaign. Today, Le Havre is France's second largest port and the gateway to Paris, "City of Light," the Norman countryside, and the historic landing beaches. Travelers usually head for the historic landing sites or to Paris. Yet Le Havre was designated a World Heritage Site in 2005. The Musee des Beaux Arts Andre Malraux boasts one of the finest collections of Impressionist painting in the world.
