The multi platinum number 1 selling artist will be treating passengers to an exclusive performance with plenty of sing-along hits.

Considering he's one of the world's best classical crossover tenors from the UK, it's sure to be a memorable performance. (One highlight of his career has to be his portrayal of Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, which has included performing in the 25th Anniversary Concert and most recently the London Staged Concert).

Harry Redknapp

Football legend Harry Redknapp will be opening up about his life and career in an exclusive ‘An Audience With’ style interview.

Russell Watson

The beloved tenor will serenade the audience in an enchanting classical concert.

Russell first found success when he won a local radio talent competition - he's since gone on to release 10 studio albums not to mention he's performed for the likes of the Queen, the late Duke of Edinburgh, and Prince Charles, as well as the late Pope John Paul II who requested a private audience with the tenor at the Vatican.

Other entertainment on board

As well as the special celebrity shows and appearances, there's heaps for passengers to enjoy on P&O's Ventura.

For a start there's the ship's usual entertainment from dazzling shows in the two-tier theatre to live music and stand-up comedy shows.

The Oasis Spa & Salon is tempting if you're after some well-deserved pampering (outdoor spa terrace The Retreat is also a must-visit), while foodies won't be disappointed thanks to 10 restaurants to choose from on board including speciality restaurants, poolside pizzerias and even a delectable afternoon tea.
