Cruise ship evacuated after man claimed to have explosive device
The 'Ventura' had to be evacuated after a man claimed to have an explosive device on Aug 9, 2025. Police were called to the Mayflower Cruise Ferry terminal in Southampton. A 200 metre cordon was put in place around the 'Ventura' and the terminal to allow specialist officers to search a lorry at the location. A man has been arrested on suspicion of communicating false information and a public order offence. Searches have concluded and no such device has been located. The forces of the Hampshire Police were stood down. Normal operations at the port were resumed.

Police prevented blockage of cruise ship by climate activists
On Feb 24, 2025, climate activists attempted to block the 'Ventura' at the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam (PTA) to draw attention to the impact of cruise ships on the environment. The 'Ventura' was met by two sloops and several dozen climate activists on them with flags and Bengal lights. Their intention was to squeeze between the PTA quay and the cruise ship and block the ship. It didn't get that far, because the police apparently knew about it and removed three ships in the way. On the IJ, the activists made another attempt to approach the ship, but that was also in vain. The 'Ventura' was calling at Amsterdam for a cruise from Southampton and departed again on Feb 25.
