Ventura fun facts

Ventura will travel about 100,000 miles during her maiden season, the equivalent of circling the world more than four time.
To put her size into perspective, she is about the same length as 35 double-decker buses parked end to end.
A total of 300 tons of paint were needed to cover Ventura, which is five times the amount required to coat the Eiffel Tower.
There are 7,000 pieces of art on board Ventura, seven times more than are currently on display at London’s Tate Modern.
The mosaics in the centre stairwell of Ventura contain more than 60,000 photographs.
