John Oram's photos with the keyword: P&O Ventura

As summer turned to autumn in 2020, most of the world's cruise ships remained idle, many along the south coast of the UK where, during the pandemic, I photographed them in three locations in addition to during port calls at Southampton and Portsmouth. P&O Ventura was seen from Babbacombe at Torbay. TZ70_P1020881CE

As cruise industry activity remained suspended during the coronavirus pandemic, no fewer than six ships could be found in Weymouth Bay. It was a magnificent but very sad sight. My photographs were taken from Osmington Mills. Three of those ships were P&O. This is Ventura. 5300_DSC_1873CE

The latest unusual cruise ship visitor to Southampton was Carnival Valor which had arrived from St Eustatius again, I assume. on crew repatriation. The familiar Veolia waste disposal vessel Seagreen is alongside. At berth 104 is Silver Spirit with the equally familiar bunker vessel Whitonia alongside and berth 106 is occupied by P&O Ventura. With the cruise ship industry in suspended animation, Southampton's movements remain of interest to the photographer but, for the prospective passenger, tantalisingly distant. 5300_DSC_1750E
