Ventura’s entertainment is just as exciting as her dining. The three-tier Palladium Theatre steals the show with live productions ranging from musicals to laugh-out-loud comedy acts.

The ship’s selection of bars and lounges caters to every kind of evening, whether you’re in the mood for live music, a lively social atmosphere, or a quiet corner to unwind with a drink.
