Passengers on Britain’s largest & newest superliner

Passengers on Britain’s largest & newest superliner Ventura will be able to fly high above sea level at Cirque Ventura – the first circus school at sea

Located high up on deck 19, highly skilled performers will run workshops with a host of exciting activities on offer including tight wire, acro balance, clowning, break-dancing, juggling and stilt walking.

In addition, the area will be equipped with two thrilling centrepieces – four bungee trampolines, which will enable passengers to soar 60 metres above sea level, and a flying trapeze.

P&O Cruises managing director, Nigel Esdale said: “Cirque Ventura is set to be a firm favourite and is just one of a host of innovations onboard Ventura. Any guest aged eight and over will have the chance to ‘run away with the circus’ and learn some innovative skills.

“We are delighted to be working with the Generating Company and look forward to seeing Ventura’s circus school come alive with all the excitement and colour of a contemporary circus.”

Cirque Ventura, onboard Ventura in April 2008, will be operated in partnership with leading UK circus skills powerhouse the Generating Company.
