Explore Amsterdam’s Iconic Waterways

Let Limitless take care of every detail, and sit back and enjoy the ocean views as you escape to the continent on a five-day cruise aboard the famous P&O Ventura. The perfect way to get a feel for the comfort, convenience and confidence-inspiring support at the heart of every Limitless cruise, the holiday features a visit to Amsterdam, where spectacular Golden Age architecture, endless canals and cosy cafes await you.

Of course, your time on-ship is just as important as your time onshore, and this cruise is a chance to experience all your floating hotel has to offer. World-class restaurants, unbeatable entertainment, and peaceful wellness facilities are all within easy reach of your accessible cabin, and with no hotel transfers or flights to catch, you can dedicate every moment to enjoying them.

Make the Ventura feel like home with Limitless

Regarded as a fantastic all-rounder and excellent ship for new cruisers, the P&O Ventura is a modern cruise ship with a traditional British feel. This makes it wonderfully well-suited to guests who appreciate home comforts but don’t want to sacrifice the excellent entertainment and dining options. Watch the world go by on deck, catch an award-winning magic show in the Arena Theatre, show off your salsa moves in the Cuban-themed Havana club, or sit back and chat with your new friends in the cosy Tazzine café.

As part of a small group of like-minded Limitless Travellers, you always have people to explore and enjoy this beautiful ship with. And the Limitless Team will be there by your side whenever you need us.

Cruise with Limitless confidence

At Limitless, we provide expert end-to-end support, making it easy to plan, book and enjoy a stress-free holiday. Your personal Limitless Travel Advisor will help you find the right cruise and arrange any additional care or support you require.

You will travel with a small group of fellow Limitless Travellers, accompanied by professional Limitless carers and an experienced Tour Manager. Whether you want company over breakfast, someone to join for an evening show or a little extra support during your holiday, there will always be a friendly face nearby.

Home Pick-Up & Boarding

Your cruise begins! Whether you’ve made use of the complimentary parking or an accessible Limitless transfer, our team will meet you at the cruise terminal to help you board the Ventura. We’ll unload your luggage, help you check in and support you through the terminal, ensuring everything is taken care of from the moment you arrive. You can learn more about our check-in and boarding support in our FAQs.

By the time you reach your accessible cabin, your luggage will be on its way to you and you’ll be introduced to your cabin steward. The Limitless Team can help you unpack, settle in and make a cup of tea, so you're ready to enjoy the Iona's departure from Southampton.

Once you have settled in, we’ll help you begin exploring the ship and introduce you to your fellow travellers. Many of our guests find being a part of this tight-knit, supportive group one of the highlights of the holiday, and head home having made lifelong friends who return to cruise together year after year. In the evening, we’ll come together for our first group dinner and enjoy your opening night aboard Ventura.

Day 2 Amsterdam, Netherlands

Welcome to the wonderful city of Amsterdam! One of Europe’s most historic cities, the Dutch capital is famously home to a warren of waterways, but also boasts some of the continent’s best art museums and a wonderfully creative café, bar and restaurant culture.

Today, we’ll begin our two-day stay in Amsterdam by boarding our accessible transport for an exclusive Limitless excursion. Boarding an accessible boat, we will cruise the city’s iconic Golden Age canals, experiencing Amsterdam’s gorgeous gabled architecture and bustling street life from the water.

Following the cruise, you’ll have time to explore Amsterdam at your own pace. The world-renowned Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum are close by, while many guests enjoy strolling or rolling through the city’s most popular green space, the Vondelpark. Of course, you could also cosy up in a café and watch the world go by.

The Limitless Team will be with you throughout the day, providing support and helping you get the most of your time in Amsterdam. If you have any questions or want assistance planning your day, just speak to your dedicated Tour Manager.

Day 3 Amsterdam, Netherlands

Exploring the Ventura

As we depart Amsterdam in the early afternoon, Limitless Travellers will spend the morning aboard the ship, enjoying the phenomenal facilities.

Typically, the Limitless Team meets with everyone in the morning to catch up over breakfast, make sure you had a comfortable night, discuss the day ahead, and plan activities. We often lunch and dine as a group as well, so you’re never short on company.

Together, we might use the accessible pools, meet for coffee, test your quizzing skills, watch a theatre performance or explore a new part of the ship. How involved you are is entirely up to you. You can spend the whole day with the group, dip in and out of activities, join everyone for breakfast or dinner, or enjoy the ship completely independently.

Whatever you choose, your Tour Manager and care team will be nearby whenever you need assistance, company or help making arrangements. Ventura may be big, but travelling with a friendly Limitless Group makes the experience feel reassuringly personal.

Entertainment Aboard Ventura

As Ventura starts on the return leg of your journey, today is a chance to experience more of the ship’s world-class entertainment. With more than eight venues to choose from, you’re never lacking in things to do. The popular interactive gameshow, Wavelength, is always a hit, while the Arena Theatre shows a combination of movies and live productions throughout the day and into the night.

There’s plenty of live music, comedy, cabaret and magic to enjoy, too. The luxurious Tamarind Club always puts on a great show, while the Cuban-themed Havana Club plays those irresistible salsa rhythms and serves up refreshing mojitos. And, if you’re feeling lucky, the on-board casino awaits.

Your Tour Manager will help you explore the entertainment programme, make bookings and organise opportunities for the group to enjoy shows and events together. You can join in as much or as little as you like, with the freedom to spend the day entirely at your own pace.

FAQs

  • Wide access doors

How does Limitless assist with check in and boarding?

Having met the Limitless Team at the port, we'll accompany you to the special assistance check-in. As it's separate from regular check-in, there are no crowds or lengthy queues.

You'll then be given a boarding time. Usually, we board as a group. However, if this isn't possible and you would like the assistance, we ensure a carer accompanies you onto the ship.

We board via the accessible gangway. This ramp connects the ship to the port. If you require support or assistance, both the Limitless Team and the ship's crew will be on hand to help. There are also manual wheelchairs available to make this transfer easier.

On some ships, the accessible gangway can be a little steep. In these instances, two crew members will provide support - one in front and one behind. You'll never be rushed and your safety and comfort are always the priorities.

Remember, you don't need to pre-book any special assistance at the port! We provide this assistance as standard with all Limitless cruises.

What is Limitless Group Support & Holiday Assistance?

Group Support & Holiday Assistance is included as standard with all Limitless holidays. It's what sets us apart from every other UK holiday provider!

This level of support is suitable for those who do not require physical support, but may need a helping hand to make the most of their holiday experience. We provide this assistance in a group setting, so you must be able to support yourself if you intend to leave the group at any point.

What does Group Support & Holiday Assistance include?

✓ Pre-holiday assistance from your Personal Travel Advisor, who will answer any questions you have and provide support with hiring any limited mobility equipment you require.

✓ During your holiday, the Limitless Team will assist you with making the holiday accessible day-to-day, including:

✓ Help with checking in to your hotel

✓ Assistance with luggage

✓ Help with accessing excursions

For more details, speak with a member of the Limitless team on 0800 711 7112.

What can Limitless do if I require additional care and support?

At Limitless, we offer a range of additional care packages if your require a little more assistance. This allows us to tailor care to individual Limitless travellers and ensure your needs are met while on holiday.

They range from our Morning, Evening & Occasional Daytime Care package for travellers who require intermittent assistance with personal care to our One-to-One Care With Hoisting package for travellers who would benefit from comprehensive, all-day care.

We always recommend getting touch with your Personal Travel Advisor to discuss care packages. They are always on hand to answer questions, provide information, and make recommendations about the package they think is most suitable for you. You can contact Limitless on 0800 711 7112.

In addition to this, our care team will also reach out to you three months before your holiday to confirm you have everything you need to travel with complete confidence.

What are anchor ports and is Limitless responsible for port changes?

At Limitless Travel, we carefully select cruise itineraries with minimal anchor ports. Anchor ports are those destinations where port logistics mean a small boat or ‘tender’ transport is required to ferry guests to shore. In the vast majority of cases, these tenders are not accessible and some Limitless Travellers will not be able to leave the ship.

Unfortunately, port changes can happen due to any number of reasons while at sea. Limitless Travel cannot be held accountable for any such port changes.
