Seabourn Ovation Wiki
Seabourn Ovation cruise ship is the line's second newest vessel providing all-inclusive "big yacht cruising" vacation experiences. The sistership by design is Seabourn Encore (2016). All Seabourn ships, as a sea vacation travel concept, continue to be widely acknowledged as the "game-changer" for the luxury ship travel industry. Traditionally for all ships in the Seabourn fleet, all passenger cabins (all are suites) have private verandas.
Compared to the line's three Odyssey-class (old) vessels, the Ovation ship is about 1/5th larger in size (34%), 1/3rd bigger as passenger capacity (26% at double occupancy), with 1 additional deck, re-designed venues, expanded public spaces, the biggest Spa at sea ever, new onboard programs.
The vessel's construction stared on June 7, 2016, when at Fincantieri's Sestri Ponente shipyard (Genoa) was held the steel-cutting ceremony. The special event was attended by Richard Meadows (Seabourn's President) and Raffaele Davassi (the shipyard's Director).
