A traditional ‘giving back’ ceremony took place aboard the Ovation of the Seas in Sydney yesterday as marine artist Stan Stefaniak presented captain Henrik Loy with an original painting of the ship.
The tradition dates back to 2011 when Radiance of the Seas first visited Sydney and yesterday marked the fifth such commission that Stefaniak has received.
The gift honours the captain and crew aboard each ship to visit as a sign of gratitude from the local Royal Caribbean team.
The event took place at a peak time for Ovation of the Seas with a spokesperson for the ship telling Cruise Weekly that sales for the season through to Feb will regularly see over 4,000 guests each departure with 75% coming from the Australian market alone.
