The largest superliner being built exclusively for the British market has successfully completed her official sea trials.
Ventura’s trials took place over a period of two weeks and included testing of the navigation system and propulsion motors. Her maximum speed was tested and confirmed as 22.9 knots.
The completion of her sea trials signify that Ventura is well on the way to completion, and will soon be sailing for UK waters prior to her launch in Southampton in April 2008.
The next few months will be a busy time at the shipyard, as the innovative concepts and designs for Ventura come to life in the final stages of her development.
Hays Travel Cruise are very much looking forward to Ventura joining the P&O fleet and embarking on her maiden season as the most family friendly superliner built for the British market.”
The build of Ventura started with the laying of the keel in August 2006. Since then more than 3,000 workers at the Italian Fincantieri shipyard have worked to complete the project, and the final few months will be dedicated to creating and outfitting her contemporary, innovative and family friendly public spaces and cabins.
