Seabourn Ovation also operated 14-day itineraries themed "Norwegian Fjords" and "British Isles".

In 2019, the ship operated on Asian roundtrips leaving from Singapore and Hong Kong China to ports in Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia.

Following the Coronavirus crisis, in early-April 2021 Seabourn announced that the brand restarts passenger shipping with the Ovation ship leaving on July 3.
